Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 280 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 180 ml Honey
- 1 liter Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until smooth.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the large bowl, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the batter to firm up slightly.
While the batter chills, prepare the honey glaze by gently heating the honey in a small saucepan over low heat until thin enough to dip donuts. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, frying 3-4 donuts at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each donut for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the donuts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Dip each warm donut briefly into the warm honey, ensuring it's completely coated.
Place the honey-dipped donuts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow any excess honey to drip off.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious gluten-free honey dip donuts.
