[Yvonne (Vonnie) Mostat, RN]

1 Cup of White Rice Flour  (More for dusting work surface)

1/2 Cup tapioca starch flour

1/4 Cup of potato starch  (not potato flour)

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 tsp. of salt

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

2  large egg yolk

1/2 cup of sour cream of choice

Canola oil (for frying)

GLUTEN FREE GLAZE

1 cup of confectioners sugar

3 tbsp. milk of choice

1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In medium bowl combine rice flour, tapioca starch/flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt and nutmeg

2. In a large bowl beat butter and sugar together until sand-like. Add egg yolks, one at a time, mixing until evenly distributed. Add dry ingredients and sour cream and mix until combined.

3.  Scoop dough into a big ball in the center of the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate one hour.

4.  Dust a lean work surface with gluten free flour. Drop chilled dough on floured surface and roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness using a floured rolling pin. (of course with gluten free flour) Using a donut cutter or two different sized biscuit cutters. Save the holes to fry separately, |Roll remaining dough scraps back into a ball and re-roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out donuts, repeating the process (until all dough is used. If donut cutter sticks dip it in gluten-free flour and try again/Pour 2 inches of oil into an electric fryer ad heat to 325 degrees.

5.  Gently lower 2 to 4 donuts or donut holes one at a time into pre-heated oil fryer  (we found about 1 1/2 minutes) Gently flip the donuts or donut holes over and drain well on paper towels.

 Repeat until all are cooked

6.  To make the glaze:  For egg free sour cream donuts omit 2 egg yolks. Add 1 tbsp. arrowroot powder or cornstarch to the dry ingredients

IN STEP ONE; Combine 1 tbsp. golden flax meal with 3 tbsp. hot sweetened applesauce and 1 tbsp. hot water and let cool.  Use this mixture to replace the 2 egg yolks in Step 2

TIP:  No electric fryer? Pour 2 inches of oil into a heavy pot and attach a deep fryer thermometer to monitor temperature.
