Critical Success Points

  • Reducing apple cider to concentrate flavor.
  • Emulsifying melted butter slowly into the egg‑sugar mixture.
  • Alternating dry and wet ingredients to maintain batter structure.
  • Chilling the rolled dough before cutting to prevent sticking.
  • Maintaining oil temperature between 325‑350 °F for a non‑greasy finish.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; keep a lid nearby to smother flames.
  • Never leave the fryer unattended.
  • Use a thermometer to avoid overheating oil above its smoke point.
