Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease one 6-serving non-stick donut pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca starch/flour, potato starch, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk brown sugar, egg, vanilla, vegetable oil, milk, and vinegar.

4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until combined. Spoon batter into prepared donut pan, filling each donut well about 2/3rds full. The batter should not cover the center of the donut well. Be sure you smooth out the tops of the donuts as they don't even out during baking.

5. Place in preheated oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until donuts rise and set. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes in pan. Carefully remove donuts and transfer to a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet or piece of parchment or wax paper.

6. For cinnamon-sugar coating, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush each donut with warm water to moisten it on all sides. Dip the top of each donut into coating; then flip each donut over and coat the bottom. Repeat until all donuts are coated. Alternately, put sugar mix into a sandwich bag and shake the moistened donut to coat.
