How to Make Apple Cider Cinnamon Buns
Mixing the egg with sugar.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with baking soda and baking powder.
Whisk the egg with sugar for 5 minutes, then pour in the apple cider.
Crack a chicken egg into a bowl and add fine white sugar. Add vanillin (or vanilla powder) or vanilla extract to taste. Mix the egg with the sugar and let it sit for a few minutes for the sugar to start dissolving.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with baking soda and baking powder. Grate in the nutmeg (a quarter of a small nut is enough).
Whisk the egg and sugar mixture for 5 minutes, then pour in the apple cider. Homemade apple wine is also a great option for this batter. Mix the liquid ingredients for 3 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients in small portions.
Pour in the olive or vegetable oil.
Mix the batter until it is smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients, mixing the batter with a whisk. You can also prepare this batter in a blender or food processor using the appropriate attachment.
Pour in the olive or vegetable oil. Use any refined, odorless oil. Buns made with vegetable oil turn out very tender and stay fresh longer.
Mix the batter until it is smooth and free of lumps. Let it rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pour equal portions of the batter into the pan.
There are two ways to bake these buns: in a muffin tin greased with butter and dusted with flour, or in the same tin with paper liners. The batter is liquid, so you won’t be able to shape it. Pour equal portions of the batter into the tin; this recipe makes 6 buns.
Place the buns in a preheated oven for 25 minutes.
For the coating, mix fine white or brown sugar with ground cinnamon.
Brush the buns with melted butter using a silicone brush.
Place the buns in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 8 minutes, reduce the heat to 170°C (340°F). Bake until golden brown. You can check for doneness with a wooden skewer; if it comes out clean with no batter crumbs, they are ready.
For the coating, mix fine white or brown sugar with ground cinnamon.
Melt the butter. Carefully remove the paper liners from the buns, or use a knife to take the buns out of the metal tin. Brush the buns with melted butter using a silicone or pastry brush, then roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mixture on all sides. The aromatic mixture will easily stick to the melted butter.
Serve the apple cider cinnamon buns warm.
