Wow, a truly delicious donut that everyone will enjoy!
2008 Pamela’s Gluten-Free Recipe Contest winning recipe by Dan B.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups warm water (120 Degrees)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 stick (4 oz) melted butter
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
-
1 bag (3-1/2 cups) Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix
- 1 yeast packet (2-1/4 tsp) enclosed in 19 oz mix bag
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- oil to deep fry
- powdered sugar or toppings of choice
Directions
Preheat heat oil to 350°. Cut parchment paper into 24, 6-inch squares and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine warm water, honey and yeast in mixing bowl set aside and allow to proof for several minutes. Add melted butter, eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix together Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix, cocoa powder and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry with the wet ingredients. The mixture should be the thickness of frosting. Using a pasty bag or plastic bag with 1/2-inch tip, pipe 3-inch diameter circles on to prepared parchment paper.
Set doughnuts in fryer paper side down and fry approximately 3 minutes on each side removing paper after flipping. If paper sticks to doughnut use a spatula to help free the paper. Place on cooling rack or paper towels to cool. Cover powdered sugar of topping of choice.
Recipe Note
The doughnuts were an instant hit. Use high quality cocoa powder made with the Dutch process for a real rich chocolate flavor.
I also found doing a smaller circumference made a plumper doughnut overall. The amount of doughnuts I made from one recipe was around 50, but they were a petite size, like the powdered or frosted doughnuts of youth. I used my grandmother's electric frying pan to keep the oil temperature right at 350° and it was roomy enough to do 3 or 4 at at time.
The parchment paper comes off easily when the first side is done and the doughnut is ready to be turned.
