Cider Doughnuts
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + chilling Cook: 5 min./batch
YIELD: about 1-1/2 dozen.
Here on our 1,250-acre farm, we usually have a quick breakfast on the go. So I often keep a batch of these light and moist doughnuts on hand. They disappear quickly because no one can eat just one! —Suzanne Christensen, Defiance, Iowa
