Applesauce Drop Doughnuts Recipe:
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 28 1-ounce doughnuts
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup milk
- (Optional) 1/4 cup buttermilk
- Sugar (for rolling)
Instructions:
-
🌟 In a mixing bowl, embark on your doughnut journey by creaming together 3 tablespoons of butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until they form a delightful concoction.
-
🥚 Add the eggs, one at a time, into the mixture, and beat well after each addition. This step ensures a smooth and creamy texture, setting the foundation for your doughnuts’ success.
-
🍎 Now, introduce the star ingredient – 1 cup of applesauce, and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for that extra touch of magic. Beat these into the mixture until they harmonize into a symphony of flavors.
-
🌾 In a separate bowl, prepare the dry ingredients ensemble: 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Combine them thoroughly.
-
🌊 Alternately, add the dry mixture to the creamy one, creating a thick, luscious batter. Don’t be alarmed by its thickness; it’s the secret to the doughnuts’ irresistibly fluffy texture.
-
🍼 Pour in 1/4 cup of milk, and if you’re feeling adventurous, add 1/4 cup of buttermilk for that extra richness. Mix until the batter achieves the perfect consistency – thick, but oh so tantalizing.
-
🍳 Now, the magic moment – heat your oil in an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer to a sizzling 375°F. The anticipation is building!
-
🥄 Using a teaspoon, drop dollops of your delectable batter into the hot oil, a few at a time. Watch as they transform into golden orbs of delight, a mere 1 minute on each side.
-
🔄 Turn them gently with a slotted spoon, ensuring an even golden hue. Once they achieve perfection, approximately 1 minute per side, transfer them to a paper towel-lined haven for a brief moment.
-
🍬 While still warm, roll these golden wonders in sugar, adding that final touch of sweetness. The warmth of the doughnuts will embrace the sugar, creating a heavenly coating.
-
🌈 Let them cool and sit for 5-6 hours – a unique twist that sets these doughnuts apart. Somehow, they become even more magical with time, a testament to the wonders of patience.
