Cinnamon Donuts

[LisaP]

Here is this mornings creation in our house. I did not have what I needed to make any of the donut recipes listed on this site, so I changed things around a bit and this is what I came up with:

Cinnamon Donuts

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 c. sugar

1 T butter/margarine/oil; melted

1 c. milk

1 1/2t. xantham gum

1/2tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla

2c. Arrowhead Mills gluten-free Pancake and Baking Mix

Mix well. Spray or grease donut pans. Bake @ 350 for 12 minutes. Note that the tops will not be very brown, but the underside of the donut should be. Put on a plate with bottoms facing up and sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Eat hot!

Yields: 12 large donuts and 12 small

Substitutions: If using a general gluten-free flour mix, add 1 tsp. baking soda to the mix

Variations:

Chocolate donuts: add 2 oz. Melted chocolate to the mix. Sprinkle with powdered sugar after removing from the oven.

Vanilla donuts: Add 1 tsp. vanilla

Enjoy!

My kids love donuts! (I won't mention myself ) But, what is a donut pan? I've never heard of this before. Where did you get yours? (I'm a firm believer in gathering as many kitchen gadgets and things as possible.)

I'd love to try this recipe as a special treat one day. Thank you for posting!

I'm lazy -- we buy a "cakelike donut mix" from Miss Roben's and whip those up in my gluten-free Fry Daddy. One package costs about $5 and makes about 4 dozen little donut holes. Which last, at my house, approximately 36 hours......
