Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 3.4 ounces Vanilla pudding mix (gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter melts. Let it cool until warm, not hot.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and slowly add the warm milk mixture while stirring.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing thoroughly to create a sticky dough.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare the Bavarian cream filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream and vanilla pudding mix. Beat until the mixture is thick and creamy, then refrigerate.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and gently roll it to a thickness of 1/2 inch.

Step 8

Use a round cutter to cut out dough circles. Place the donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover them again with a cloth and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 9

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the risen donuts in small batches until golden brown on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 10

Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

Once cooled, use a piping bag with a narrow nozzle to fill each donut with the prepared Bavarian cream by injecting through the side.

Step 12

Dust the tops with powdered sugar and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
