How to make delicious gluten-free (GF) doughnuts

Gluten-free cooking can be easy and delicious! These yummy cake doughnuts are easy to make, especially if you have a deep fryer.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 1/4 cups Pamela's GF Baking & Pancake Mix
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2/3 cup milk or buttermilk (optional: add 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice to milk)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup white or brown sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

1. Preheat oil to 365 to 375 degrees F in deep fryer. You need at least 1 1/2 inches - more is better.

2. Mix all ingredients together.

3. Dust counter with additional GF Baking & Pancake Mix.

4. For doughnuts, scoop out 1/3 cup dough, coat both sides with flour, flatten slightly, and press hole through center with thumb.

5. For doughnut holes (easier, as this dough is pretty soft, making for very floppy doughnuts), scoop out 1 inch balls (a little less than 1/4 cup).

6. Carefully lower doughnuts / holes into oil. Fry for approximately one minute on each side.

7. Remove doughnuts from oil and let drain / cool on paper towels.

8. Eat straight, or roll in powdered sugar first. Tasty!

Tips & Warnings

• Be very careful with hot oil!
• If you don't have a deep fryer, you can heat the oil on the stove, but I don't recommend that - I nearly burned down my apartment years ago that way...

on 8/24/2009 These look amazing, especially if you eat them with apple sauce or powdered sugar. I am going to have to try them soon!

on 7/10/2009 Wow, this is the first appealing gluten--free donut recipe I've seen! Pamela makes really good cookies so I can imagine how well one of the mixes would work.

I'll bet they would taste beyond heavenly if they were fried in ghee. lol
