Jelly Doughnut Anyone?

[saaa-wheat<3]

Oh how I miss the jelly-filled doughnut!

I was obsessing over the fact one day, when I was eating a toasted Trader Joe's Gluten Free French Roll with jelly. It tasted ALMOST like a raise jelly doughnut, because these have yeast in them, so I decided to fool around with it a bit to see what I could come up with, and came up with something pretty good to share, and so simple to make!

Ingredients:

• a package of fresh gluten free french rolls
  
• Smucker's Seedless Raspberry Jam
  
• raw honey, the kind that has crystallized
  

Directions:

When you get your rolls home, slice them into thirds, and freeze the "middles" separately from the "ends". I like to use the middles for toast, and this helps the cost of a pre-made package of rolls go a little bit further.

Remove a frozen pair of ends from the freezer. Wrap in a cloth napkin and microwave on high for about one minute, so that it is warm and soft all the way through. Separate (careful, hot!), and add a tablespoon or more of Jam and make a "sandwich". Frost with some raw honey and that's it! Freezing and then microwaving is the secret to the soft squishy texture we miss so much, so don't skip that important step!

Hope you love 'em like I do--Enjoy!

OMG...I may have to give that a try! When I first went gluten-free I tried those rolls....one bite and I threw them all away. I didn't know then to heat/toast gluten-free breads first. I have come a long way since then. DS would be in heaven if I can make those taste good!! He loves his doughnuts!

Thanks for sharing!

crystallized honey? I know I have had that b/c my honey was just sitting around too long, is there anyway I can speed up that process? I would be in heaven for a jelly donut!!!!

Yum... now that's a heck of a lot better than a pop-tart

Celiac really does prove that necessity IS the mother of invention.

I love donuts. I've been okay with the Kinnikinnick donuts, but they're not the same. Going to try this technique soon.

Thanks for posting this.

You betcha Mammagoose on the poptart comment

Tinkerbell, you can use any kind of honey, even fresh honey, I suppose...I just prefer raw honey that is crystallized, it's sweeter and adds that perfect texture to the outside of the doughnut. It's as close to "honey-dipped" as one gets, because it's the real thing!

A long time ago I worked in a donut shop, where my job was to thaw and finish pre-baked doughnuts. So I iced and filled donuts all day, but when I opened the lid of the tub containing the jelly that got injected into the doughnuts, fruit flies flew out. It didn't seem to bother anybody else who worked there, but having just spent a semester in college growing fruit flies, that told me that there were likely to be fruit fly larvae in the jelly that was going into these donuts! So I stopped eating jelly donuts long ago, but this recipe makes me think I could indulge a long-suppressed craving with jelly that doesn't have any maggots! Mmmmmm, no maggots.

E-w-w-w! At least you've given me a reason to be thankful I can't eat jelly donuts anymore
