Gluten Free Donuts… from a packet mix.

I know you guys probably think it’s weird that I keep blogging about making gluten-free treats from packet mixes like I’m some kind of gluten free treat hero but seriously. If you could see my man’s eager little face as he crams non-toxic donuts in his gob. It’s like when you’re sixteen and you realise how awesome it is to be drunk. It’s emotional, you know?

I’ve spoken before about my aversion to recipes that are complicated. For me, this means recipes that have ingredients that I’ve never heard of or have steps that require an action that lasts more than 30 seconds. This ‘recipe’ requires the deep-frying of things. I don’t do deep-frying usually. It’s far too variable, like poaching an egg. I need rules and restrictions in life, and in cooking this translates to pots and pans or some kind of surface. I’m very uncomfortable with food just cooking itself, floating in boiling liquid. But Mr Smaggle made his sad face and then rubbed his bum on my leg and I couldn’t resist.

In all seriousness, they are dead easy. You mix up the ingredients, drop tablespoons of mixture in boiling oil (so much more fun that you could ever imagine) and then roll them around in powdered sugar and cinnamon.

If you have a glutard in your life, make them the damn donuts. Macro have made me realise that you can buy love. With tiny balls of deep-fried fat, coated with sugar.
