Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4-5 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or other toppings (optional)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the dough in a circular motion into the hot oil, making rings approximately 3 inches in diameter.
- Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
- Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and let excess glaze drip off. Alternatively, you can drizzle the glaze over the donuts using a spoon.
- Top the glazed donuts with sprinkles or other toppings if desired.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving the donuts. Enjoy!
