Lab Experiment 104: Donuts! - gluten and nut free. They taste waaay better than they sound. :)

A friend of mine has a 2 year old son that has to stay away from gluten and nuts. When I asked her what they miss the most, she immediately responded "DONUTS!"

Everything I came across was just a bit dry and dense and let's be honest, there's nothing like homemade. With just a slight adjustment to a recipe from "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" I was able to enjoy something that actually tasted like a donut for the first time in years.

I took a couple dozen of fresh mini donuts to my co-workers at Great News! Cooking School and Cookware. They and the customers gave rave reviews! Let me know what you think.

*I replaced the butter with Earth Balance vegan buttery sticks and used Cup 4 Cup gluten free flour mix, Bob's Red Mill xanthan gum and cornstarch, and Rumford baking powder. Please note that the recipe does call for 2

eggs in case that's an issue for you. I can't wait to make more tomorrow!

*This recipe is also dairy free if you replace the Cup 4 Cup with a dairy free gf all purpose flour.
