Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together your gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Bring it Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The dough will be soft and a little sticky.
- Shape the Twists: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 3-4 times. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 6 inches long, then twist it into a classic doughnut shape, pinching the ends together.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully fry 2-3 doughnuts at a time for 60-90 seconds per side, until golden brown.
- Coat and Serve: Transfer the hot doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate. While still warm, brush them with melted butter and dunk them generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
