Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 quarters cup Whole milk or dairy-free alternative
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter or dairy-free butter
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 cup Jam of your choice
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, instant yeast, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm temperature.
Whisk the egg and vanilla extract into the lukewarm milk mixture.
Gradually add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Using a round cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out circles of dough. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional circles.
Cover the dough circles with a cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.
In a deep saucepan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C).
Carefully fry a few doughnuts at a time, about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain them on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
Let the doughnuts cool slightly. Using a piping bag with a tip or a syringe, fill each doughnut with approximately 1 tablespoon of jam.
Dust the cooled and filled doughnuts generously with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
