In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
Ingredients:
1 egg
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon oil
3/8 cup buttermilk
1 ¾ cup all purpose gluten-free
flour
1 ¾ teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Beat egg and add sugar and oil and buttermilk, then mix together and add
dry ingredients.
Fry in a skillet at 370-380F: Drop by teaspoons as donut holes, about 6 at a time so as to maintain the temperature. While still warm shake them in a paper bag with sugar/cinnamon.
As always, Celiac.com welcomes your comments (see below).Article Options

I used regular baking powder and flour, and I left out the Xanthan Gum, and I used Regular 2% milk and they still turned out fine. |

11 Nov 2010 5:18:08 PM PDT Scott, the donut holes were a hit. My daughter was feeling left out at church because she couldn't have donuts once a month when we have our donut and fruit social before Sunday School hour. She thoroughly enjoyed them and has asked for more. Next month I will make more for her for our next donut and fruit social and she can enjoy them for a couple of days. Thanks again for the recipe.

23 Mar 2012 9:38:16 AM PDT I have been craving donuts like crazy lately, longingly searching for some GF ones. Then, I found this recipe and made some of my own! These turned out delicious! I substituted plain yogurt for the buttermilk, and they taste great with a little powdered sugar on them!

21 Dec 2012 7:17:45 PM PDT I added quite a bit more milk and substituted some of the flour for corn starch. I didn't have buttermilk, so I added 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. I think rather than add more milk, that I will cut back on the flour by 1/2 cup and see what the consistency is next time. They remind me of sweet hushpuppies in consistency. They definitely helped with our donut craving, and we used relatively inexpensive staples!
