Thanks to my friend, Amber, I’m making the world’s intestines a little calmer with this gluten free donut recipe. I can attest to the yummy-ness factor of these donuts. Some of the best homemade ones I’ve ever had – and if she hadn’t told me, I would NEVER have guessed that she had made me the gluten-free version!! It’s a rainy weekend in my part of the world, so this is a great family activity with yummy rewards!
Happy Baking!!
Regular Recipe: (gluten free subs below)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp salt
…1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon(although I use a full tsp.)
dash ground nutmeg(i use about 1 1/2 tsp.-makes them taste better!)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup of milk
1 egg, beaten
1 quart oil for frying
Heat oil to 375. In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg . mix in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk and egg until smooth. knead lightly, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. roll out to about 1/4 inch. cut with doughnut cutter. carefully drop into oil. fry for 3 minutes(turning them over half way) or until they’re golden brown. drain on paper towels and when they are cool melt chocolate, or make a glaze to pour over.
for it to be gluten free:
replace the all-purpose flour with bob’s red mill gluten free all purpose flour.
add 1/2 tsp xanthum gum(it replaces the “elasticness” that gluten has.
Then follow the recipe. you wont need to knead it, because gf dough is super sticky. i use about another cup of GF Flour to roll it out with my hands. then i dip my doughnut cutter in the flour every time i cut out a doughnut-then it doesn’t stick to the cutter.

Who said we have to give up the things we all love. Now, how do we make really good tasting GF sugar free donuts?

Wow! What a tasty treat! This is such a marvelous recipe! I made these extra special for a friend that also has egg and dairy allergies by using flax seed meal and coconut milk as replacements. I sprinkled these treats with sugar and cardamom, plus added some to the dough. Can you say lip smacking?
