directions

Step 1

In a small bowl mix together ground flax and water. Let is sit for 15 minutes in the fridge to thicken.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl combine soy milk and apple cider vinegar and allow to sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3

After letting these 2 components sit for 15 minutes heat up vegetable oil in a pot to 375°F while you prepare the rest of the dough.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl add 2 cups of gluten-free flour mix (the other ¼ cup is for rolling out the dough) and mix with cinnamon until well combined.

Step 5

Add the ¼ cup of vegetable oil, vanilla extract, sugar, and flax mixture to the bowl with soy milk and apple cider vinegar and whisk together until well combined.

Step 6

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until it just comes together into a sticky ball of dough.

Step 7

On a clean, dry surface spread out ¼ cup of the flour and place the dough from the bowl onto the floured surface. Knead the dough into a little bit of this flour as well as ensuring you keep the surface floured to prevent the dough from sticking. It will become a little less sticky to handle as you incorporate a bit more of this flour into it.

Step 8

Pat the dough down with your hand until it’s ½” thick.

Step 9

Cut 2 ½” circles from this dough. Being sure to lightly coat the cookie cutter with excess flour on the counter.

Step 10

Bring the excess dough together in a ball again, ensure you’ve spread out a bit more of the excess flour across your surface/counter and flatten the dough again to ½” thick and continue to cut out circles. After this second round of cutting out circles you should be left with just enough dough to make one or 2 more doughnuts with your hands.

Step 11

To make the center hole you can light coat the thicker end of a chopstick with a bit of excess flour. Then stick it through the middle of the circles and roll it around a little to create a small ¼” hole.

Step 12

Place powdered sugar into a shallow dish and have it near your frying oil. You’re going to sugar the doughnuts right out of the fryer.

Step 13

Ensure your oil has reached a temperature of 375°F and place 2 to 3 doughnuts in the hot oil. After about 1 minute they should be floating at the surface. Using a slotted frying spoon gently flip them. Then let them fry for another 1 ½ minutes until golden.

Step 14

Lift them out with the slotted frying spoon allowing excess oil to drip onto paper towel. You can let them sit for a few seconds but you want to get them powdered with sugar pretty immediately while they’re still hot. Roll the doughnuts around in the powdered sugar until coated evenly and place them on a separate clean plate. Continue this process until all the doughnuts are fried.

Step 15

It’s best to eat these immediately while they’re still warm!
