GF Biscuit Mix Donut Holes

Serves: 8 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup Better Batter Gluten Free Pancake and Biscuit mix – spoon into the cup, do not scoop!
• 1 Tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
• dash of nutmeg
• 1 Tbsp (13g) vanilla
• 2 eggs OR 1/2 cup (106.5g) aquafaba (bean juice)
• 1/2 cup milk or dairy free sub (120g), (add more if needed)
• oil for frying

NOTES BEFORE BEGINNING:
Make sure you heat your oil to about 360 degrees over medium high heat in a heavy pot – you need it to be large enough to leave a few inches between donuts and a few inches between the surface of the oil and the top of the pan. I personally prefer an electric skillet. The texture of your donuts will be determined by how much liquid you add. More liquid will equal a puffier doughnut (but not as pretty). Follow the instructions carefully!

 

Instructions

Heat oil in a heavy pot.

Blend Dry ingredients. While oil is heating, blend flour, sugar, and nutmeg in a bowl.

Blend Wet Ingredients. In a separate bowl, blend vanilla, eggs or aquafaba, and 1/2 c milk, beating until smooth.

Stir together the dry and liquid ingredients. The mixture should start sloppy and thicken over 30 seconds. You want about the texture of drop biscuit dough – sticky! If needed add just enough extra milk or sub to create drop biscuit texture.

Drop Donuts: Drop tablespoons of the dough into the hot oil, frying for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown, turning as needed. When you fry, leave an inch or so between donuts. Remove to drain and cool for about 5 minutes (we recommend a wire rack).

Dip in Toppings. Dip in sugar, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, melted chocolate glaze, or confectioner’s glaze, and dip into desired toppings.
