Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Additional granulated sugar for coating

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Step 2

In another bowl, combine the melted butter, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the milk to the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the dry ingredients to hydrate.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or electric fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter to cut out doughnut shapes. Gather and roll out scraps as needed.

Step 8

Carefully place a few doughnuts into the hot oil, frying them until golden brown on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 10

In a shallow bowl, mix the additional 0.5 cups of granulated sugar with the cinnamon.

Step 11

While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.

Step 12

Serve the doughnuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
