Thank you to those who responded to my request for doughnut recipes.  A
summary of two are as follows


Cake Doughnuts (thanks Barb from NE Ohio)

1 2/3 cups gluten free mix (from Bette Hagman 2 cups rice flour, 2/3 cup
   potato starch, 1/3 cup tapioca starch)
1/6 cup soy flour
2 tsp xanthan gum
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 T shortening
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
slightly less than 1/2 cup milk

Heat oil (3 to 4 inches) to 375 deg in a deep pan.  Measure 1 cup of gluten
free mix and the remaining ingredients into a large mixer bowl.  Blend 1/2
minute on low speed, scraping bowl occasionally.  Beat 2 minutes at medium
speed, scraping bowl occasionally.  Stir in remaining flour and make into a
ball.  Turn ball onto board or counter dusted well with gluten free mix and
roll until 3/8 inches thick.  Cut with doughnut cutter.  With wide spatula,
slide doughnuts into hot fat.  Turn doughnuts as they rise to surface.  Fry 2
to 3 min or until golden brown on both sides.  Carefully remove from fat with
slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.  Sift confectioner's sugar
or cinnamon onto them and serve.  They may be frozen and heated in the
microwave.


RAISED DOUGHNUTS (from Cindy in NJ)

1 1/2 cups GF flour mix 1 cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons soy flour 1 tablespoon rapid-rise dry
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder   yeast granules
1 teaspoon xanthan gum 3 tablespoon margarine, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt 2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon apple pie spice 1 quart vetable oil
1/3 cup sugar, divided 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar (for
      dusting)

Blend the GF flour mix, soy flour, baking powder, xantahn gum, salt and
spice. Set aside.

Add 1 teaspoon of the sugar to the water and then stir in the yeast. Set
aside until it foams slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, blend together with a hand mixer at low speed
the remaining sugar, the margarine, eggs and yeast mixture. Beat in half
the flour mix. Stir in the rest of the flour and beat with a spoon until
smooth.

Heat oil to 370 degrees in an electric frying pan or a deep fryer.

Place the dough in a donut maker and press out onto hot oil, 3 or so at
a time. If the dough becomes too thick to press out of the maker, stir
in 1 tablespoon of warm water at a time until it frops out easily. Turn
once to brown on both sides. Remove with tongs and drain on paper
toweling.

While still warm, shade in a plastic bag with sugar or frost when
cooled.
