Tallow Apple Cider Donuts — Seed Oil Free Halloween Recipe

At a glance: Tallow Apple Cider Donuts — Seed Oil Free Halloween Recipe: serves 12, cooked in butter and tallow, with no seed oils.

These apple cider donuts use reduced apple cider in the batter for concentrated flavour, and beef tallow for frying at 350°F. Tallow gives a crisper exterior than vegetable oil because it is more stable at frying temperature and does not absorb into the donut the way seed oils do.
