Gluten Free Powdered Donuts

For Father's Day this year, all my siblings and I gathered at our childhood home to make breakfast for my dad. A little background info: My dad suffers from ALS and also celiac disease (what luck, huh?) so everything we made had to be both gluten free and easy for him to eat. My first thought was donuts. I remember, back when he was healthy, how he used to love donuts and I remembered those Freihofer's donuts he used to get us, you know the ones, with plain, cinnamon and powdered donuts. The crowd favorite has always been powdered donuts, so I set off on an adventure to make soft, GF Powered donuts.

This recipe is my adaption of On Sugar Mountain's recipe.

Ingredients:

-1 cup of Gluten Free flour (I use King Arthur's All Purpose Gluten Free Flour)

-3/4 cup sugar

-1/4 tsp salt

-1 tsp baking powder

-1/2 cup milk

-1/2 tbsp vinegar

-2 tsp vanilla extract

-1 egg

-2 tbsp melted and cooled butter

Mini Donut Pan

For Coating:

-1/4 cup melted butter

-1 cup powdered sugar

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.

Step 3:

In a measuring cup, mix together the milk and vinegar. Let this sit for 5 minutes.

Step 4:

In a small bowl, slightly beat the egg and then add the milk and vinegar mixture, then the vanilla and melted butter.

Step 5:

Combine the wet and the dry mixture's in the largest bowl. Do not over mix.

Step 6:

Put the batter in a large ziploc bag and then cut a small hole in the corner (homemade piping bag!). Grease the donut pan and start piping into the donut cavities, filling them halfway.

Step 7:

Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poking the donut. Let donuts cool.

Step 8:

Melt the quarter cup of butter in the microwave in a bowl. Pour powdered sugar into a large ziploc bag. Make an assembly line, dipping the donuts into the butter, coating completely, then putting a couple into the ziplock bag, shaking to coat. Place donuts on a serving tray.

Enjoy!
