Lemon Donuts with Raspberry Glaze

Gluten Free | Makes 12 mini donuts

Ingredients

• 45 grams sorghum flour
• 45 grams white rice flour
• 40 grams brown rice flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup caster sugar
• Zest and juice 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the glaze

• 1/3 cup frozen (or fresh) raspberries
• 1 1/2 cup icing sugar
• Sprinkles, to decorate

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F) and grease a 12-hole mini donut pan with butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the sorghum flour, white rice flour, brown rice flour, baking powder, baking soda, and caster sugar.
3. In a small mixing bowl whisk together lemon zest and juice, milk, yoghurt, egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until smooth.
5. Spoon batter into a large ziplock bag and snip the end off. Pipe batter into the mini donut pan holes. Make sure you only fill the holes 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full so that they don’t overflow and lose their cute little donut holes.
6. Bake the donuts in the pre-heated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they spring back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. To make the glaze process the raspberries in a small food processor. Strain through a fine sieve and save the liquid. Discard the seeds. Whisk in the icing sugar until smooth.
8. Dunk the donuts into the glaze, then shower with sprinkles.
9. Donuts are best on the day they are made, but can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container overnight.
