Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- To make the batter: Add the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sea salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk together to combine.
- Add the egg, heavy whipping cream, sparkling apple cider, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined into a thick batter. Transfer the batter to a piping bag.

- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes
Tips
- Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
- You can use flat apple cider in place of sparkling if you prefer.
- If you have broken donuts, you can just crumble them up and form into balls. That's how I got the donut holes. If you have a donut that breaks coming out of the pan or doesn't look ideal, just make it into a couple donut holes!
- Make sure to store these in an airtight container or under a cake dome so they stay fresh.
- High Altitude — Bake at 400°F for 8 to 12 or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
