Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar for topping
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
While the donuts are still warm, dip each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating well.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
