Lets jump into Autumn this week and roll out the Apples
I see so many Recipes for Apple Cider Baked Donuts recipes fron the US but there is one difference .
The term Cider !!! Ours in an alcoholic beverage sold by the pint or bottled !! The US is a still form UN tampered and not alcoholic !!
But hey who says you can’t have a boozy donut !!!
So I have rolled with my version , and delicious it is !!
Now if you want to debate
- Doughnut or Donut
- Baked Donuts are cake not a Donut
Then I suggest this is the wrong Blog Post for you !!!! ππ
Off you trot…….BYEπ
For those of you not having a Donut pan this is the one I use
Right lets get baking. It wont take long AS LONG AS YOU’VE REDUCED YOU CIDER ( and once you’ve made these I can guarantee you will have the cider reduced in the fridge to have at a moments notice ) and you can sit back and eat these beauties with a warm cuppa………….money is on you will russle these up on an evening and just need to finish them all πππ
