How to Make DF & GF Doughnut Balls

For all you free-from babies out there, here is this week's new recipe - DF & GF doughnut balls!

Makes: 20 doughnuts

Ingredients:

litres of vegetable / olive oil for frying

Dry mixture:

270g gluten free plain flour

70g caster sugar

2.5 tsp gluten free baking powder

Wet mixture:

2 eggs

120ml dairy free milk

2 tbsp diary free butter

---

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan to 170-180 degrees (low heat). It should be around 1.5 inches deep - make sure the oil isn't too close to the top of the saucepan

2. While that's heating up, mix the flour, baking powder and sugar in a large mixing bowl

3. In a smaller mixing bowl, mix the eggs, milk and butter together until smooth.

4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and whisk by hand until smooth (the consistency should be nice and thick - should not run off the spoon / whisk when held over the bowl)

5. Once your oil is at the right heat, test the temperature by dropping a small amount of mixture in - if it sizzles it's hot enough

6. Scoop a nice level ice cream scoop of your batter and drop it into the oil. To get a nice round shape, don't let the mixture drip off the scoop

7. Cook each doughnut for a couple of minutes, ensuring the outside is golden brown and the inside is cooked

8. Once slightly cooled, roll the doughnuts in a bowl of sugar

9. Serve with a little jam to dip them in and enjoy!
