Gluten-Free Donuts

Gluten-Free Donuts

Ingredients:

• 1000 g MF-925 Millet Donut Mix
• 200 g shortening
• 200 g egg
• 525 g ice water

Instructions:

1. Mix the Dough:

   • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
   • Using a paddle attachment, mix at low speed for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
   • Continue mixing at medium speed for an additional 3 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth.

2. Shape the Donuts:

   • Remove the dough from the bowl and roll it out to a thickness of 1-1.3 cm.
   • Use a donut cutter (8.5 cm in diameter) to cut out the donuts. Each donut should weigh about 58-61 g.
   • Freeze the shaped donuts for 15-30 minutes to help maintain shape during frying.

3. Fry the Donuts:

   • Preheat the oil to 180°C (350°F).
   • For submerged frying, cook the donuts for 4 minutes.
   • For open frying, cook for 6 minutes, flipping the donuts every 2 minutes until golden brown.

4. Serve:

   • Once fried, coat the donuts with powdered sugar.
   • Let them cool and enjoy!

Yield:

This recipe yields approximately 30-35 donuts, depending on the size and thickness of each donut (58-61 g per donut).

Pro Tips:

• Tip 1: Freeze for Better Frying: Freezing the donuts before frying helps them retain their shape and prevents them from absorbing too much oil.

• Tip 2: Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil stays at a steady 180°C (350°F). Using a thermometer can help maintain the perfect frying temperature, ensuring the donuts are evenly golden and not greasy.

• Tip 3: Customize the Coating: For a unique twist, try coating your donuts with cinnamon sugar, matcha powder, or even a simple glaze instead of powdered sugar.

• Tip 4: Store Properly: If you're not serving immediately, let the donuts cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and soft.
