  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and cooled apple cider.
  3. Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Bake Doughnuts
  1. Spoon the batter into the greased doughnut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they’re done.
