TODD COLEMAN

Gluten-free oat flour lends old-fashioned flavor to these donuts topped with a spiced rum-molasses glaze and sugared raisins.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten free oat flour, plus more for dusting
  • 14 cup plus 2 tbsp. potato starch
  • 14 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 12 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 34 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • 34 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 12 tsp. xanthan gum
  • 14 tsp. baking soda
  • 12 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 12 cup plus 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 12 cup buttermilk
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 12 cup raisins, finely chopped
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tbsp. dark rum
  • 1 tsp. molasses

Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, starches, baking powder, 1 tsp. cinnamon, ¼ tsp. nutmeg, salt, xanthan, and soda in a bowl; set aside. Beat butter and ⅓ cup sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy, 1 minute. Add egg and ½ tsp. vanilla; beat until smooth. Alternate adding flour mixture with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms; let rest 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 2" oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 9" round about ½" thick. Using a floured 3" donut cutter, cut out donuts; gather and reuse scraps. Working in batches, fry, flipping once, until puffed and golden, 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack; let cool completely.

Step 3

Toss chopped raisins with remaining sugar; set aside. Whisk remaining cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, plus confectioners' sugar, rum, molasses, and 2 tbsp. hot water in a bowl until smooth. Dip tops of donuts in glaze and sprinkle with raisins; return to rack until glaze is set.
