Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Butter, melted
- 2 Eggs
- 4 cups Oil for frying
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and eggs. Beat the wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth and thick batter forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes. This will help in shaping the doughnuts.
While the dough chills, heat the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
Once chilled, lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the doughnut batter to about 1/2 inch thick.
Use a doughnut cutter or two different-sized cutters to cut out the doughnuts and holes. Gather scraps and re-roll to use all the dough.
Carefully place a few doughnuts into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan, and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove doughnuts from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining doughnuts and holes.
Once cool enough to handle, dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar or your chosen topping.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade gluten-free doughnuts!
