Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, add a bit more flour or milk to achieve the desired consistency.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature.
While the oil is heating, lightly dust a flat surface with gluten-free flour and roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into strips or shapes of your choice.
Carefully lower the dough pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the dough until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to turn the dough and remove when done.
Drain the fried dough on paper towels to remove excess oil.
While still warm, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free classic fried dough!
