Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 quarters cup Whole milk or dairy-free alternative
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter or dairy-free butter
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
• 0.5 cup Jam of your choice
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, instant yeast, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm temperature.

Step 3

Whisk the egg and vanilla extract into the lukewarm milk mixture.

Step 4

Gradually add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 7

Using a round cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out circles of dough. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional circles.

Step 8

Cover the dough circles with a cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Step 9

In a deep saucepan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C).

Step 10

Carefully fry a few doughnuts at a time, about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain them on a wire rack lined with paper towels.

Step 11

Let the doughnuts cool slightly. Using a piping bag with a tip or a syringe, fill each doughnut with approximately 1 tablespoon of jam.

Step 12

Dust the cooled and filled doughnuts generously with powdered sugar.

Step 13

Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
