    Instructions

    Donuts

    • Activate yeast by adding sugar and yeast to warm water. It should double in size.

    • Beat eggs on medium speed for 4 minutes. Turn off.
    • Turn mixer on low and add the yeast mixture and milk mixture. Mix for 2 minutes.
    • Add salt, sugar, xanthan gum, and gluten free all purpose flour. Mix for 2 minutes.
    • Place ½ cup cup of dough on plastic wrap. Add another sheet of plastic wrap on the top half and gently press down to flatten the ball of dough.
    • Cut donuts with a donut cutter, remove plastic wrap, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
    • Heat oil to 275-300ºF and use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Place donut in the hot oil and fry for about 1- 1 ½ minutes on each side. Until it is golden brown. Carefully transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 20 minutes before frosting.

    Maple Glaze

    • In a bowl add all of the ingredients and mix well. Drop the donut into the mixture and pick up carefully by placing your pointer finger into the hole. Lay on a rack covered with parchment paper frosting side up. Enjoy!
