Apple Cider Donuts

In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg, and 0.5 tsp salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 whole egg, 0.5 cup apple cider, 2 tbsp melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll it to 0.5 inch thickness.

Cut out donuts using a donut cutter or two different-sized round cutters.

Heat 3 cups vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Carefully fry donuts in batches for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
