So the challenge around here is to accommodate all our allergies (milk, egg, soy, fish/shellfish, tree nuts/peanuts, sesame) as well as a gluten sensitivity. Here's what we've tried over the last few days.
Attempt #1: Okay, I can't seem to find the site at present.
It's a little unfair to rate this recipe as I didn't quite follow the instructions. They were supposed to rise for 2 hours after being cut out, but my hungry charges weren't going to wait that long so I attempted to speed the process which was probably not a good thing in this case (oh, and I think I accidentally cut the sugar by half). They were a bit heavy but completely devoured.
Attempt #2: Amazing Gluten-Free Buttermilk Doughnuts
"They look like the real thing, they taste like the real thing...." said one commenter on the website. I guess it all depends on your point of view. These definitely looked and tasted better than the first recipe (which may or may not owe to the fact that I followed the instructions, even while simultaneously making ham biscuits and maneuvering around my husband repairing a broken supply line to the kitchen sink). They were still pretty heavy as compared to any normal doughnut I have tasted, but the kids loved them.
I was cleaning the kitchen this morning and started to put away the fry daddy when I also started to think about funnel cakes. Could they be made without egg and milk? Could they be gluten free? A quick Google search (love this!!!) led me to a couple of recipes I combined with fabulous results. The big kids, who were working on a school related LEGO movie, stampeded upstairs to taste. Thumbs up from everyone!
The aftermath is a lingering smell of grease and feelings of lethargy. The fry daddy will be removed to the garage to gather dust until onion ring season rolls around!
