Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted unsalted butter. Whisk together until fully combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and no dry lumps remain.
Step 4
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese into the batter gently until evenly distributed.
Step 5
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Step 6
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the cheese donuts warm as a savory treat or appetizer.
