Doughnut Holes, Anyone?

I've been wanting one of these so I broke down and got one. I took some Gluten Free Pantry muffin mix and used that as my batter. I rolled them in powdered sugar while they were still hot. The kids and I had them with our tea and coffee and they were so, so good! There is a learning curve on getting the flipping right but it is not too bad. I'm going to make mini corndogs for lunch! I have a feeling we'll be eating lots of "puffs" the next few days.

That pan looks really neat. I saw it at Target couple weeks ago for $20 and almost got it but didn't.

About how long does each set take to cook?

Thanks for posting about it....you will have to keep us updated on how things turn out

I tried my for a while. Pamela's Pancake mix with orange marmalade, but the lemon curd was the best.

I had a hard time using the correct amount of filling so it wouldn't leak out. They tasted great, though.

Let me know how the mini corn dogs work. I really miss "pigs in a blanket".

I've made pigs in a blanket with chebe, it works really really good. Gotta use one that calls for cheese though, the all-purpose tastes wierd.

Cool idea!!! Thanks for sharing!

wow!! Do I have a recipe for you!! I have made this several times.. even 4 timed the recipe just so I could have it in the fridge.. I have made pigs in a blanket (and took them with me to a baseball game) just plane Crescents and also cinnomon rolls!!! OH yeah I also made pizza crust with this... a little flimsy but awesome... here you go very versatile

Crescent Rolls

1/2 stick butter (note - that is 1/4 cup), room temperature

3/4 cup small curd cottage cheese(I did not have any so I used sour cream

1 cup gluten-free flour mix (I used Pamela's baking mix)

1 tsp xanthan gum

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 TBS sugar

In the bowl of your mixer, combine the butter and cottage cheese. Add dry ingredients. Mix until a ball of dough forms.

Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll the dough into a 14 inch circle. Cut into 8 triangles (really easy with a pizza cutter). (to do this I sprayed a piece of wax paper with my oil spritzer and then layed that on top and rolled)

Roll each triangle from wide end to tip, turning ends to form a crescent shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake 20 to 30 minutes.

I have one, the kids LOVE it! Mine is the cast iron, it only takes a few minutes to make a batch, little longer than making pancakes, but fun. I make berry compote for the kids to dip them in instead of syrup.

To use them easier, spray with cooking spray between each batch and I use those wooden skewers you can get anywhere to turn them so I don't burn my fingers--tried toothpicks-doesn't work!!

I never thought of using them to make corndogs--my kids will be all over that-thanks for the idea!!

So does anyone have a good recipe for corn dogs in this thing? Would a regular corn dog batter work? My kids would go nuts over something like this! I have had a hard tome finding a good recipe that doesn't flop in it. The GFP mix works the best for me, too.
