Ingredients
- Doughnuts:
- 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (175 ml) buttermilk
- 1/4 cup (55 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (225 grams) chopped apples, peels removed (from about 2-3 apples)
- Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
- Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups (170 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla. Add liquids to the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chopped apples and mix only until incorporated.
Preheat a waffle iron and cook waffles according to manufacturer's instructions. Let cool and cut into segments.
Pour enough vegetable or canola oil into a heavy bottomed pot so that it's 2 inches deep. Set over medium heat, insert a thermometer, and heat to 360 degrees F.
Working with the waffles in small batches, fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove doughnuts and transfer to a paper towel lined tray to drain.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Dip the hot doughnuts into the glaze and let sit on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.
