Serves: 18 Individual
Prep: 1.5 Hours
Cook: 10 Minutes
Ingredients
1 teaspoon Dried Yeast
1.5 tablespoon Water, warm
50 g Natvia
270 g Flour, gluten-free
0.25 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
0.25 teaspoon Bi Carb Soda
0.5 teaspoon Mixed Spice, ground
50 g Butter, melted and cooled
80 mls Almond milk, warmed
1 Egg
Salt, pinch
0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Vegetable Oil, for shallow frying
FLOUR PASTE:
45 g Plain Flour, gluten-free
2 tablespoon Water
EXTRA:
95 g Natvia
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Nutvia, Natvia Strawberry or Raspberry Jam
2 Disposable Piping Bags
Method
- Whisk yeast with warm water and 1 tablespoon of Natvia in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes or until mixture is frothy.
- Combine flour, mixed spice, cream of tartar, bicarb soda, a pinch of salt and the remaining ¼ cup Natvia in a large bowl. Make a well.
- Add yeast mixture, butter, almond milk, egg and vanilla. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2 minutes to form a smooth ball.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel. Leave in a warm area for about an hour to prove.
- Line two Baking trays with baking paper, take pieces of dough (around a tablespoon) and roll into balls, place on the prepared trays.
- Make the flour paste: Mix flour and water in a small bowl until smooth, adding a little more water if too thick. Spoon into a disposable piping bag and pipe a cross onto the top of each dough ball. Stand for 20 minutes.
- Place the extra Natvia in a bowl with the cinnamon. Fill the other disposable piping bag with either Nutvia, Natvia Strawberry or Raspberry Jam.
- Pour oil into a deep frying pan or small pot until 1/3 full, heat over a medium heat. Cook doughnuts in batches for 1-2 minutes or until golden.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a tray lined with paper towel to drain for 10 seconds. Pierce doughnuts with a knife or skewer. Fill with Nutvia or Jam. Toss the filled doughnuts in the Natvia, cinnamon mix to coat. Place on a plate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
