Sugar Cinnamon Glazed Donuts

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten free oat flour, plus more for dusting
  • ¼ cup, plus 2 tbsp. potato starch
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¾ tsp. Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. xanthan gum
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup, plus 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 tsp. molasses

Directions

  1. Whisk flour, starches, baking powder, 1 tsp. cinnamon, ¼ tsp. nutmeg, salt, xanthan, and soda in a bowl; set aside.
  2. Beat butter and ⅓ cup sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy, 1 minute.Add egg and ½ tsp. vanilla; beat until smooth. Alternate adding flour mixture with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
  3. Mix until a soft dough forms; let rest 10 minutes.
  4. Heat 2" oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 9" round about ½" thick. Using a floured 3" donut cutter, cut out donuts; gather and reuse scraps. Working in batches, fry, flipping once, until puffed and golden, 3-4 minutes.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack; let cool completely.
  7. Toss with remaining sugar; set aside. Whisk remaining cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, plus confectioners sugar, molasses, and 2 tbsp. hot water in a bowl until smooth. Dip tops of donuts in glaze and sprinkle with cinnamon; return to rack until glaze is set.
