It is spelled Doughnuts.

After the record setting single day snowfall in the Northeast, I bet you would love nothing better than to sit back and enjoy your morning with a delicious breakfast and a hot cup of coffee. How about Doughnuts? No, not those stale and flavorless Donuts you had last week. I mean some nice fresh and hot doughnuts straight out of your kitchens deep fryer or skillet. Trust me. It's time to break out the deep fryer and listen to Homer. "mmmmmmmm... Doughnuts!"


DoughnutsGF/DF

Ingredients:

2 Large Eggs
2 Cups Plain Silk Live Soy Yogurt
1/4 Cup Melted Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks
1 3/4 Cups White Rice Flour
1 3/4 Cups Brown Rice Flour
1 Cup Potato Starch
1/2 Cup Tapioca Starch
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Xanthan Gum

Directions:

1) Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl making making sure it is well mixed.

2) In a Large Mixing bowl, beat the Eggs, Soygurt, and melted Buttery Sticks.

3)Using a spatula, slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. When mostly combined, use your hands to kneed the dough to make sure it is properly mixed. Let dough rest for 15 minutes.

4)Heat deep fryer or deep dish pan with 2 to 3 inches of Canola Oil to 375 degrees

5)Sprinkle Rice Flour on your work surface and roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. If dough sticks too much, work in more flour.

6) Cut out your doughnuts with a cutter approximately 3 inches in diameter and the center holes at 1 inch diameter.

7)If using deep fryer, place basket into oil. Drop a few doughnuts in oil slowly being careful not to splash hot oil on yourself. Cook time may vary. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove with slotted spoon, or fryer basket. Let dry on a cooling wrack.

8) For extra delicious flavor, you can roll the doughnuts in more sugar while they are still hot. Serve them hot and fresh.

  1. How well do you think these would work with egg substitute?

  2. I am really not sure on this one. I would definitely make sure to have the dry ingredients on hand ready to mix just in case the egg substitute starts to stiffen right away. I have never used it with soygurt before. Other than that, I can try again this weekend. I am pretty sure the family won't mind more doughnuts.

  3. Made these again this weekend for a party, and apparently they disappeared quickly even with egg replacer in them. I would say Success.
