The Ultimate Gluten Free Doughnuts (yeasted, Fried Gluten Free Jelly Donuts)
  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix together the yeast, 10g (about 1 tablespoon) sugar and warm milk. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture starts frothing.

  2. Make the psyllium gel: In a separate bowl, mix together the psyllium husk and cold water. After about 30-45 seconds, a gel will form.

  3. In the bowl of the stand mixer, whisk together the tapioca starch, millet flour, sorghum flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder and the remaining sugar.

  4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the egg, yeast mixture and psyllium gel.

  5. Knead the dough until smooth and all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, about 5-10 minutes.

  6. Add the butter and knead until it’s fully incorporated.

  7. Transfer the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours.

  8. Once chilled, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.

  9. On a lightly floured surface, shape the pieces of dough into balls, and finally flatten them.

  10. Place the doughnuts on individual squares of parchment/baking paper on a large baking sheet.

  11. Proof the doughnuts in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours or until about doubled in volume.

  12. Heat the oil to 320-330ºF (160-165ºC).

  13. Once the doughnuts have doubled in volume, carefully place them into the hot oil.

  14. Fry the doughnuts on this first side for about 2 ½ minutes or until deep golden brown, then flip them over.

  15. Fry them on the other side for a further 2 ½ minutes or until deep golden brown.

  16. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts out of the oil and onto a large plate or wire rack lined with paper towels.

  17. In a bowl or a deep plate, mix the sugar and cinnamon together until well combined.

  18. Roll the doughnuts in the cinnamon sugar while they’re still hot.

  19. To fill the doughnuts, first make a hole in the doughnuts.

  20. Transfer your jam of choice to a piping bag fitted with a nozzle.

  21. Fill the doughnuts until the jam starts coming out of the hole.
