Ingredients

Doughnuts

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 3 to 4 teaspoons milk

Steps

  • 1
    In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 375°F.
  • 2
    To make Doughnuts, in large bowl, beat egg, buttermilk and 2 tablespoons melted butter with whisk until blended. In medium bowl, stir remaining doughnut ingredients. Slowly fold dry ingredients into egg mixture; coat hands with flour blend, and mix with hands, if necessary. Cover and let dough rest 15 minutes.
  • 3
    Meanwhile in small bowl, stir together Chocolate Glaze ingredients, stirring in enough milk until smooth and desired glaze consistency. Cover; set aside while frying doughnuts.
  • 4
    Sprinkle flour blend on work surface. Roll out dough on surface to 1/2-inch thickness. If dough is sticky, coat hands and rolling pin with flour blend. Cut dough with 3-inch round doughnut cutter. Fry doughnuts and holes in hot oil about 2 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dip top of each doughnut and holes into glaze. Serve warm.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • tip 2
    Just be sure to maintain the correct oil temperature so the outside gets crisp and golden brown and the inside stays tender. One of the secrets of success is to fry the doughnuts in batches to keep from overcrowding the pan and causing a drop in the oil temperature.
  • tip 3
    Vanilla Glazed Doughnuts: Follow directions for Chocolate Glaze--except omit baking cocoa and melted butter.
  • tip 4
    Cinnamon-Sugar Doughnuts: Omit Glaze. Stir together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. After frying and draining, immediately roll doughnuts and holes in sugar mixture.
