Buttered Rum Apple Cider doughnuts are baked then topped with a buttered rum glaze. The flavours meld into a perfect mini bite of fall goodness.To make filling the doughnut molds easier I used a piping bag that I filled with the batter and then piped each “cup” to form perfect shaped doughnuts.A large ziploc bag filled with batter and the tip of the corner trimmed off will work too.
Yield: Makes 35-45 mini donuts
