  • 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup tapioca starch/flour
  • 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup potato starch (not potato flour)
  • 2 2 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 3/4 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 3/4 3/4 cup buttermilk of choice or plain coconut yogurt
  • 2 2 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 2 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • Gluten-Free Glaze
  • 1 1 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 2 2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup sprinkles, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease two 6-serving donut pans.

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

3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and oil.

4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and whisk until combined.

5. Spoon batter into prepared donut pans, filling each donut well about ½ full. The batter should not cover the center of the donut well. Place in preheated oven and bake 7 to 9 minutes or until donuts rise and set.

6. Remove from oven and carefully remove donuts from pan. (If they stick, use a spoon or rubber spatula to loosen them.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes. If glazing donuts, place a wire rack over a cookie sheet or piece of parchment paper.

7. To make the glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar and milk in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover and heat in microwave 30 seconds. Stir until all lumps are dissolved. Place sprinkles, if using, in a shallow bowl.

8. Dip the top of each donut into glaze and place on rack. Repeat until all donuts are dipped. For a thicker glaze, dip 1 or 2 more times. After the last dip, dip donuts in sprinkles, if desired. Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
