Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Warm water
- for frying Vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Hot water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast, stirring gently. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and add milk and vanilla extract. Stir until combined and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and granulated sugar.
Add the egg to the frothy yeast mixture and whisk until combined.
Pour the yeast mixture and milk-butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Lightly flour a surface with gluten-free flour and turn the dough onto it. Roll out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts and transfer them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat, aiming for a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Fry the doughnuts in batches for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, hot water, and vanilla extract until smooth in a medium bowl. Adjust thickness with more water or sugar as necessary.
Dip the warm doughnuts into the glaze and transfer them to a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off and dry slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth gluten-free doughnuts!
