Ingredients

• 280 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 240 ml Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 180 ml Honey
• 1 liter Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Add the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the large bowl, mixing until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the batter to firm up slightly.

Step 6

While the batter chills, prepare the honey glaze by gently heating the honey in a small saucepan over low heat until thin enough to dip donuts. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 8

Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, frying 3-4 donuts at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Step 9

Fry each donut for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the donuts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Dip each warm donut briefly into the warm honey, ensuring it's completely coated.

Step 12

Place the honey-dipped donuts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow any excess honey to drip off.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious gluten-free honey dip donuts.
