Doughnut Drops

    Gluten Free Doughnut Drops

   This is what we had for breakfast, after playing around with the ingredients we successfully made yummy gluten free homemade doughnuts.

                   Heres what we did:

Get you deep fryer up to 375 degrees

1 1/2 cups gluten free flour (use regular flour for non gluten free)
1 cup sugar (we used stevia for diabetic)
2 tsp baking poweder
1 tsp zanthan gum (take out for non gluten free)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
 Mix all the dry ingredients together

Next add 1/2 cup of milk
2 tbs oil
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla

Drop rounded spoon fulls in your deep fryer, cook about a minute in a half on each side. Place warm doughnuts on a paper towel. We rolled ours into a cinnamon, sugar mixture while they were still hot.
1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon.

Eat and enjoy.
 They were actually pretty quick. Prep time was around 5 minutes and cook time was very quick. I can't say how many you will you will get, depends on how big you make the doughnuts

chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate chip cookies

2 1/4 cup gluten free flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp salt
1 cup soft butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of M&M's

preheat oven to 375

mix flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside

beat butter and sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl with mixer till creamy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each egg. Slowly beat in your flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and M&M's. Place your round drops of cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 to 11 mins or until lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on baking sheet for about 2 mins before placing them on a wire rack. This makes about 5 dozen cookies if they are small enough.

I leave a good amount on a plate for the kids and the rest I place in a ziplock freezer bag and put them in the freezer for later. You have to remember gluten free products will go stale very fast if not frozen. They also defrost very quickly so there always ready for when you need them.
