Mini Gluten Free Baked Buttermilk Donuts Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 375°F.
• To make Doughnuts, in large bowl, beat egg, buttermilk and 2 tablespoons melted butter with whisk until blended. In medium bowl, stir remaining doughnut ingredients. Slowly fold dry ingredients into egg mixture; coat hands with flour blend, and mix with hands, if necessary. Cover and let dough rest 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile in small bowl, stir together Chocolate Glaze ingredients, stirring in enough milk until smooth and desired glaze consistency. Cover; set aside while frying doughnuts.
• Sprinkle flour blend on work surface. Roll out dough on surface to 1/2-inch thickness. If dough is sticky, coat hands and rolling pin with flour blend. Cut dough with 3-inch round doughnut cutter. Fry doughnuts and holes in hot oil about 2 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dip top of each doughnut and holes into glaze. Serve warm.

BAKED MINI DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease miniature muffin cups or line with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Stir milk and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Beat butter and 1/3 cup white sugar together in a third bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in egg.
• Stir flour mixture, alternating with milk mixture, into butter mixture until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into a piping bag and pipe into muffin cups, about 2/3-full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Mix 1/3 cup white sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl; add warm doughnuts and gently toss with hands until coated.

BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
• Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
• Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
• Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
• Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
• Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.

MINI-GLUTEN FREE BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS

Steps:

• FOR THE DONUTS:
• Preheat the oven to 350'F. Lightly grease 6 or 8 donut molds. I have a 12 mini donut mold I like to use. Spray the molds lightly with oil. In a small bowl make the buttermilk by combining the almond milk and cider vinegar. In another small bowl, mix the ground flax seed meal and water. Allow to thicken up for about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the Xylitol, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in the flax seed meal and buttermilk mixture. Gradually add the baking mix and almond flour and stir until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated but the dough is soft. (It's more like a thick gooey batter). Spoon the batter into donut molds and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the donuts are golden and firm. Remove the donuts and turn out on to a wire wrack to cool. FOR THE TOPPINGS: If using the cinnamon topping sift the cinnamon with the powdered xylitol and arrowroot starch. Brush the donuts with the melted coconut oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon Xylitol mixture. If using the chocolate glaze combine the melted coconut oil, cocoa and hot water. Blend in the powdered xylitol, arrowroot starch and vanilla. Put the mixture in a small bowl and dip the donuts in it and put on a tray and into the fridge to cool. Enjoy
