<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> First I want to thank everybody for replying to my craving for donut recipes. I received LOTS of replies and it appears many others are also having the same cravings. Bear with me because I want to pass the recipes along that I received. I haven't tried any of these yet but definately will this weekend. Since I can't try all the recipes at once (although I'm tempted) if anyone tries any please email me and let me know which were better than the others. I'll also update later. First I was told by many that Kinnikinnick's located at www.kinnikinnick.com has wonderful donuts. They do not have jelly filled but their others are really good. I was told to buy in large quantity and freeze them because they do have a $10 shipping charge. I was told that a donut maker is a good idea. With a donut maker it is real easy and there is no deep frying. It was suggested to try at www.salton-maxim.com/salton/ for a mini donut maker they thought they carried. This sounds like a good idea and sounds much easier than the traditional method. For now, I will try the traditional method. A suggestion I got was to use a GF biscuit recipe and add sugar to the recipe. His 13 year old son really enjoys them. Lydia's donuts > 2 eggs beaten 1 c sugar > 2 tsp melted butter nutmeg to taste > pinch of ginger 1 c sour milk (can use sweet milk with > 1 tsp baking soda beaten a little bit of vinegar in it) > into the sour milk 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum > 2 c GF flour mix > > Mix well. Bake in donut pans at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. > Can make half the recipe white donuts and then add 1 oz of melted baking > chocolate to the other half. > > If you are lactose intolerant, you can make them with apple juice with a > bit of vinegar added instead of the sour milk. > > This recipe makes about 12 donuts. They are yummy! > > I frost them with glaze of powdered sugar and milk and sprinkle with > nuts. Spicy donuts 1 c. sugar 1 1/2 c GF flour mix 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp xantham gum 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp allspice 1/2 c oil (or 1/4 c oil and 1/4 c 1 tsp GF vanilla applesauce or pumpkin puree) 1/2 c boiling water 2 eggs 1/2 c buttermilk Mix dry ingredients together. Add oil ( and fruit puree if reducing fat) and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add buttermilk and water a little at a time to the mix. Bake in preheated donut maker coated with GF cooking spray. Bake 3 minutes. These may also be baked in a sandwich maker--but bake 7 minutes. Chocolate donuts: Same as above but eliminate cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Add 1/2 c cocoa and follow above recipe. Donuts: 4 1/2 c GF flour 1 3/4 c sugar 7 tsp baking powder 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon 3 eggs 2 tsp GF vanilla 2 c milk or water 1 c oil Mix dry ingredients together. At medium speed beat eggs and vanilla. Add rest of wet ingredients. Add dry mixture. Makes about 2 dz. donuts. These freeze well and can be put in the microwave--80% power for 20-30 seconds. Here is a recipe for Buttermilk Drop Donuts. For a "light" donut, use a GF flour mixture that is made up of a variety of flours, including some bean flours. 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 2 Tbsp. butter, softened 2 cups + 1 Tbsp. GF flour mixture 1 1/2 tsp. GF baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup buttermilk Corn oil for frying Toppings/Jelly (see below) Whip eggs until fluffy. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar and butter. Sift together flour mixture, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. This flour mixture into egg mixture alternately with buttermilk until thoroughly blended. Drop by teaspoonfulls into hot oil (375 degrees) and cook, turning once, until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. While warm, roll in granulated or confectioner's sugar. Yield: 48 small donuts. * Toppings/Jelly: With an "injector", you may inject donuts with a jelly or cream filling. For alternative toppings, frost with chocolate icing, then sprinkle with nuts; or spread with a confectioner's sugar glaze and sprinkle with coconut. Poofies 1 cup rice flour 1/2 tesp salt 1 egg 1 cup gf sour cream 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp water Make batter and refridgerate for 1-2 hours. Drop by teaspoon into hot oil and roll in cinnimon and sugar blend. serve warm. I thought you could try putting jam in them? Basic Donuts (Donut Maker Needed) 4 1/2 cup GF flour 1 3/4 cup sugar 7 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 3 eggs 2 teaspoons GF vanilla 2 cup milk or water 1 cup oil Mix dry ingredients together. At medium speed beat eggs and vanilla. Add rest of wet ingredients. Add dry mixture. Makes about 2 dz. donuts. These freeze well and can be put in the microwave--80% power for 20-30 seconds. GF Raised Doughnuts 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups. GF flour mix (you want a thick cake batter texture) 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp xantham gum 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup sugar 1 cup lukewarm water 2 teaspoon rapid yeast 3 tablespoons margarine, melted 2 eggs, room temp Sift together GF flour mix, baking powder, xantham gum, salt, and spice. Add 1 Tbsp of the sugar to the warm water and stir in yeast. Set aside until bubbly. In a large mixing bowl, blend together margarine, eggs, and yeast mixture using a hand mixer on low speed. Beat in half of flour mixture. Stir in the rest of the flour mixture, then beat until smooth. Heat at least 2 inches of oil to 375F in a wide, deep pan or deep fryer. Scoop the dough with your icecream scoop or gravy ladle and drop gently into hot oil. Turn doughnuts once to brown on both sides. Remove with tongs to drain on paper towels or brown paper. If eaten warm, shake in a mixture of granulated sugar and a little cinnamon. If storing, remove to cooling rack. May be frosted when cooled. NOTES: I let them cool a few minutes and injected them with jelly. My husband and I ate the whole batch in less than 2 days. Not as good the next day as the dough gets oily, so only fill the ones you will eat right away. The older ones do well if you can pop them in a toaster oven or regular oven a few minutes to dry the oil out a bit, then fill with jelly. Some people have not had good success. You may have to play with the amount of flour to get a good thickness, so when you drop them in the oil they stay together. Mine look pear shaped, about 3 inches each. HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE - IT SURE DID ME!!!!!-)
