Making Fresh Apple Cider Doughnuts - LIVE!

[@susankirby4607]

My daughter got married last October ... she decided she wanted Apple cider donuts instead of a wedding cake!! The donuts were significantly cheaper and a big hit with the 75 guests!! The donuts were made at a local apple orchard.

[@christinewilcox7080]

I love when couples do non-traditional things that suit them better. The donuts will always be remembered

[@yanirisencarnacion04]

That’s an amazing idea.

[@noramaegomez197]

Was that Snowline Orchard?

[@AlexandraAndStuff]

I've never had a good wedding cake, they are all usually totally mediocare. Donuts are a way better idea, although, from the logistic perspective, they are more difficult to keep fresh

[@lyndallikitule5882]

You would have saved a lot of money. No big Finale cutting of the cake . Would have given a more relaxed ambience 😊

[@rhondazara4702]

Regarding the PO Box…I’m like you all in that I have a difficult time “receiving” because I’m a giver by nature. I consider it a great blessing to give. My husband reminds me often that by skirting around the opportunity to receive I’m denying others of THEIR blessing. Many of us find great warmth and satisfaction from giving without expectation. So allow others to bless you knowing it’s in the spirit in which you all give ❤

[@terrytt2932]

that is so very well said!

[@roxannepruitt4024]

When my mother used to make homemade donut. She would put the donuts in a brown paper bag and shake the bag. She did cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar and cinnamon. It was less mess also.

I was about to suggest the very same thing!!! :)

[@robinashultz7662]

My mother did the same! Making donuts was something we did every time it rained.

[@anneharriman7662]

@@judygovotsos7916 my mom didn’t make doughnuts but she made fried chicken like the Colonel and she floured and seasoned it by shaking it in a brown paper bag. I use the love shaking the chicken. Flour, salt, pepper and paprika was all she used and a cast iron skillet with her grease that was stored in the oven till she used it again. That pan was used for nothing else. Surprised we never got sick from the pan never being washed.

My mother-in-law taught me to make doughnuts. She had me make several batches in a row to make sure I'd remember how to mix them up. We fried them on a very, very hot day. I thought I would die before we finished them. I came home with the perfect size can to cut out the doughnuts, which I still have 45 years later. It's cut out many, many doughnuts.

We live in Texas moved here from Michigan and my husband just asked if we could get Apple Cider doughnuts. I just told him Becky is making them, to show me how to do it😊.

[@marjoriestraw1746]

A way to get your donuts completely covered in cinnamon sugar, instead of using a bowl put your cinnamon sugar in a small brown paper bag. Then put the hot donuts/donut holes directly into the paper bag and then shake. They will be completely covered with delicious cinnamon sugar. Trick learned from watching my mom make donuts over 50 years.

[@jeremyzaloum3443]

[@bornafox719]

Since I started watching you, you have inspired me to start cooking and baking more. Thank you 😊

[@nanniemaeminer6882]

Hi Becky and Josh, love seeing you in your lives even if it's on replay😊. Growing up my mom was known as the donut lady in the family and a church. When we go to camp in the summertime she'd have the morning off and make fresh donuts to take. My nana loved them, as did everyone else of course. In the winter she would make them two or three times a month on a weekend. Primarily they were molasses, chocolate, and plain all cake donuts And us kids had the job of putting the sugar in the paper bag and shaking the donuts to sugar them. Such wonderful memories.

[@nanniemaeminer6882]

Oh and I forgot to mention she would only use LARD to fry her donuts in and would strain out And save the fat to use for the next time or two.

[@robinmckennon]

Just wanted to say hi Becky and Josh! Thank you for all the enjoyment you give us all watching your videos. 😊

[@tiagorman1553]

This video reminded me of my dear grandmother who used to let me help her make donuts and the scent of donuts rolled in cinnamon sugar would fill the whole house and always brought my grandfather into her domain, the kitchen, for coffee and a fresh, warm donut😊

Hi Becky, hi Josh, I’m Veronica from Sacramento and a HUGE fan! I love your LIVE videos and how gracious and respectful you are to eachother. My question is related to requesting a comment from you (and Josh) regarding the GRATIFICATION your overall gardening process from seeding to harvest is to both of you! I just wanted to hear from you, how happy, gratifying or surprised you are to go through the process of planting seeds to harvesting food and flowers for your family and friends.

You can fry in EVOO We fry Italian pastries, dough in EVOO. Fun fact....EVOO and avocado oil do not produce carcinogens at their smoke point like seed oils do

[@kellybloom8885]

I had seen that she recently purchased that giant jug of sunflower oil and was curious to know if she was aware of the negative impacts of seed oils 😢

[@Becky0494]

Right? Every time someone says you shouldn’t fry in EVOO I just think of my Greek family frying away! And they’re in much better health than us. Not sure if I’d like the flavor from EVOO in an apple donut though.

I have my mom's donut cutter. Probably 2" size, and you get the donut hole and the donut at the same time. She kept saying, Don't overwork the dough with each roll out cause they will get tough."

[@SharriC]

Love watching you two! When our boys were small we had the tradition at Christmas to make cake donuts….we got together with two or three other families and cooked donuts for hours. We all had a job. The children took turns sugaring the donuts in a paper bag after they had cooled some…the sugar just melts if the donuts are too hot. We’ve made as many as 25 dozen donuts in one evening. We also learned that if you flip the donuts often while frying they get fatter and puff up….it’s all personal preference. Keep sharing your experiences we love them all.

[@marywarren7404]

@@kathepass5514 Thank you for the reply. We eat a lot of fresh tomatoes especially in the summer from our garden. We don't peel or de-seed them before eating them. I have been eating fresh tomatoes for decades and have never had any gut issues. I would never recommend for anyone to eat anything that could possibly cause them serious health issues. Always do your own research and do what you think is best for you and your family. What I read said, eating them in moderation is not harmful. Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my comment. Good advise is always welcome.

What fun this video is! My Mom used to make home made donuts for us as a special treat when I was a child, and I remember she would put the cinnamon/sugar in a brown paper bag, then put the freshly fried donuts in the bag and gently shake it. They were all perfectly coated. I grew up in South Dakota and there was nothing better than a warm donut on a cold and snowy evening. Thank you for making me remember that special time! Also, we always had a "kitchen garden", and my sister and I helped with the planting, weeding, watering and harvesting, then the canning and preserving. I remember fondly being sent to the basement to get a jar of tomatoes or canned pears or peaches or some yummy jams or jellies. Your videos remind of those times and I appreciate that!

When our boys were little, we always did cheater donuts and hot chocolate on the first snow of the season. We would get the biscuit dough that comes in a pack of 4 cans, which would make 40 donuts.

Someone probably already mentioned it, but oliebollen are a traditional dutch "pastry" which are eaten during the new year celebration. Traditionally you bake them on the 31st of December so you've got fresh ones in the evening. They are made of a dough with raisins (sometimes apple pieces too, or nothing at all if you don't like raisins)! after the batter has risen for a few hours you use two spoons or a large ice cream scoop and fry them, let them cool and eat them with powdered sugar :).

Hi Becky & Josh, I used to work at a small farmers market. They had a good-sized apple orchard, pumpkin patch, corn fields (for a maze) and gave hayrides. We had a lot of elementary school kids come with their class and we made apple cider donuts for all the class hayrides and on weekends for everyone else. We rolled some in cinnamon-sugar and dipped some in a powdered sugar glaze. They were the best donuts ever! It would make a great fall tradition; go on a hayride, come home and have an outside fire with donuts and warm cider, YUM. I think now I'm going to have to make some. I call my stove top "burners "but I have heard many southern cooks call them "eyes" so you did actually hear that.
