Donut

So I'm Celiac and in the craving stage of pregnancy and who ever says that you don't crave glutened food is nuts. I have had the worst craving for a creme filled frosted longjohn. I tried to make one but failed. Has anyone been able to figure out how to make one, or (i cringe) a good enough one to think about buying? I'm about 6 months gluten free and am just not experienced enough to deal with, all of a sudden mind you, craving food I can't eat.

Ummmm, where do you live? I've never heardof a 'longjohn', I'm guessing you mean donut? I'll be happy to help you look up a place near you that might have something relatively close! Would boston cream pie work?

lol, um...i'm from iowa. I didn't know that wasn't a popular thing everywhere.... it is a rectangular donut with a hole at one end where they put cream filling in, then they frost it. kinda like a jelly filled donut but with cream and a different shape. I live in Missouri now, but the last one i ate was in iowa. Thanks for any help

Yeah, kinnikinnick makes good donuts.

I've had what you describe, around here (new england) we call them boston cream donuts, and they're round. Chocolate icing on top? Yeah, I miss those too. My only suggestions would be to get kinikinnick chocolate glazed donuts and dip them in vanilla pudding (they're REALLY good warm) or maybe find a gluten-free cream puff recipe and fill and top it like a donut.

We have a gluten free bakery in Chesterfield, Michigan called Celiac Specialties. They make the closet to the basic doughnut that would be filled and frosted like that. So make a filling and your frosting and get your self an order.

Good luck with your pregnancy!

I havn't tried this recipe yet, but it sounds like it would work.

Cream puffs

1 c. water

1/2 c. shortening

1/3 c. potato starch flour

2/3 c. rice flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 TBS sugar

4 eggs

1. Combine water and shortening in Lg saucepan

2. Bring to rapid boil.

3. Mix flous, salt, sugar. Add to water and mix untill ball forms and mixture leaves the sides of the pan.

4. Remove from heat and let cool somewhat.

5. Using an electric mixer, Add unbeaten eggs, one at a time.

6. Drop by TBS unto greased bake sheet (2 in round, 1 1/2 in high).

7. Leave space to expand.

8. Bake at 450 for 20 min.

9. Remove from oven and prick with a knife to let steam escape.

10. When cool, cut in half, remove any excess dough, fill and frost.

There are recipes for dounuts in the internet. I've only made donut holes. Hope that helps.

      Hello, @Jane02, I take Naturewise D 3. It contains olive oil. Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
