Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups GFC Flour Blend for Baking divided
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups hot plain mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk alternative with 1 Tbsp vinegar added
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Oil for frying

Topping

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Mix together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, xanthan, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the mashed potatoes, sugar and buttermilk. Stirring until well combined.
  • While stirring, slowly add in the eggs, - this will prevent them from scrambling, then stir in the vanilla.
  • Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the flour mixture, then turn out onto a surface with the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Knead in the remaining flour or until the dough is no longer sticky.
  • Roll out to about 1/2" thick and cut with a doughnut cutter (or 2 circles).
  • Pour oil into saucepan to about 2" deep, and heat to 350°F using a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Gently drop 2-3 doughnuts into the hot oil, and fry about 20 seconds/side. Use tongs or chopsticks to flip (to get the correct frying time, break one apart and do a taste test). Make sure oil gets up to temperature again before adding the next batch.
  • Shake excess oil off doughnut and immediately toss with the cinnamon-sugar.

Notes

Instead of cinnamon-sugar, you can dust them with powdered sugar
