Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 cup Fruit jelly or jam
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Flour a clean surface lightly with gluten-free flour and turn the dough onto it. Knead gently for a minute.
Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness and use a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out donuts.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry a few donuts at a time, flipping them halfway through, for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Allow the donuts to cool slightly, then use a piping bag fitted with a small tip to inject each donut with about a tablespoon of jelly.
Dust the donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
