Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cream)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Using a spoon or piping bag, shape the dough into rounds and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry the donuts in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

For the filling, mix the cornstarch with the milk in a saucepan, stirring until dissolved. Add the powdered sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring until it thickens and boils. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Stir in the butter and vanilla extract into the thickened mixture and let it cool.

Step 8

Once the donuts and cream are cooled, use a piping bag with a small tip to fill each donut with the vanilla cream.

Step 9

Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
