Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Make a well in the center.
Pour melted butter, egg, and buttermilk in the well. Mix by hand until all ingredients are mixed in.
Place dough on generously floured surface or pastry mat. Sprinkle top with flour. Press out dough to about ¾ inch thickness. Cut out dough with a biscuit cutter.
Make a hole in the center with finger.
Heat cooking oil in a small saucepan. Drop a little piece of dough in oil. If it bubbles, the oil is ready. Reduce heat to about medium. Place donut in oil. Heat on one side until golden brown. Use metal tongs to flip donut. Heat on remaining side until golden brown. If oil becomes too hot, reduce heat. (Note: If oil is too hot they will brown too fast and not cook all the way through. The oil should bubble when the donut is placed in. Donut should rise to the top of the oil.)
Remove donut to paper towel lined plate. Allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes.
Roll donut either in powdered sugar or cinnamon in sugar. Serve warm.
