One of the local specialties here in Upstate New York is something called a cider donut. Count yourself lucky if you find a reliable source, and even luckier if you find them freshly made.

Lucky for us, one of our local farm producers, Stannard Farm, makes these delectable little pastries on a regular basis at their store on Rte. 22. You can find all sorts of fresh fruits and vegetables there and now they have a deli counter as well. We stopped for some fresh corn on the cob and were greeted by the aroma of donuts emerging from the fryer.

The “cider” in cider donuts refers to the apple cider used as the liquid in the dough. At Stannard’s, they use cider from their own apples. In this case, the apples had been pressed just two days earlier.

The donuts come out of the hot oil slightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Then they’re dusted with sugar–impossible to resist.
