Ingredients for Amazing Gluten Free Buttermilk Donuts Doughnuts

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • Butter
  • Gluten Free Rice Flour Mix
  • Sugar
  • Nutmeg
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Xanthan Gum

How to Make Amazing Gluten Free Buttermilk Donuts Doughnuts

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups white rice flour, 3 cups brown rice flour, 2 cups potato starch, and 1 cup tapioca starch. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups buttermilk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 3 inches of oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the donut batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove donuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  7. While still warm, toss the donuts in a mixture of 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional).
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
