Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Sour Cream
- 0.25 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and xanthan gum. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
While the dough is chilling, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
Once the dough is set, lightly flour a work surface with gluten-free flour. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a donut cutter to cut out the donuts and holes, re-rolling scraps as necessary.
Carefully place a few donuts at a time into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried donuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Allow the donuts to cool slightly before glazing or dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
