Rick Makes Apple Cider Doughnuts | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes apple cider doughnuts. These sugared doughnuts are craggy and crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. Apple butter (not sauce!) is key to their texture and flavor; look for it alongside jams and jellies in the supermarket, or at farmers’ markets, or make your own.

Okay, for everybody confused about the cider issue. In the US and parts of Canada we refer to unsweetened, unfiltered apple juice as "cider" and the fermented product as "hard cider" and the reason why is Prohibition. Cider was big business for apple farmers for most of American history, and when the sale and production of alcohol was prohibited between 1920 and 1933, apple farmers started selling more unfermented juice as "soft" or "sweet" cider, which was a big hit and eventually just became the normal version of "cider".

Gosh, I would love to be a cameraman in the BA kitchen. Just hanging out with these lovely people, filming them, chatting with them, occasionally encouraging them, and then getting to sample delicious food at the end.

The intro, the idea, the pizzazz and the execution; all beautifully blend together to create Apple Cider Doughnuts in the most fruitful time for Ciders. Well done Rick! Bon Appetite, you’re killin it!

I appreciate that Rick places his dishes in the sink.

Glad Rick explained what apple cider is in the US. In the Netherlands appel cider is a fizzy alcoholic beverage.

You guys should use the glass mixer bowls for videos. Would be nice to see everything inside the bowl while it's being mixed!

I feel like Rick needs a bright blue KitchenAid on his workstation at all times!

I came in here to say how underappreciated Rick is but the comments are full of love and I am happy.

I started watching BA for Claire, Brad and Carla. I love that Chris, Andy, and Rick have grown on me so much

I think at this point Rick should just go shirtless.

"If it's clear and yella', you've got juice there, fella. If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town."

each time i just pause and take a moment to appreciate how much Rick rocks this shimmery blue nailpolish and how overall his hair, tan, glasses, shirt and behavior are such an attitude <3

[loodmoonrising]

I honestly adore the way Rick smiles whenever Brad laughs
