Gluten-Free Apple Cider Donut Holes

• 1- 1/2 cup Brown Rice Flour
• 1 cup Sweet White Sorghum Flour
• 1 cup Tapioca Flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
• 1/4 cups Butter, Softened
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 whole Large Eggs
• 1/4 cups Apple Cider
• 1/2 cups Buttermilk
• Oil, For Frying
• 2 cups Sugar
• 1- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 2 cups Confectioners Sugar

1. **Also needed: light colored oil for frying**
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flours, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and nutmeg for 90 seconds.
3. Set aside.
4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until smooth.
5. Add eggs, 1 at a time until combined.
6. Mix in cider and buttermilk, then mix in the flour mixture.
7. Using a medium cookie scoop (1 -1/2 tablespoon scoop), scoop the dough into balls, place on a waxed cookie sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
8. I have a mini-fryer that I love, but its totally unnecessary (especially considering I lived 29 years without one).
9. Using a fryer or a large, heavy-bottom pot, heat about 4-5 inches of light colored oil to 375 degrees.
10. Test your oil by dropping one donut hole in the oil, cook 7 minutes, allowing the hole to do its business, remove to a wire cooling rack then break it open to make sure its not doughy, but cooked through.
11. You dont want to crowd the pot, so work with 4 or 5 holes at a time.
12. Mine cooked perfectly after 7 minutes, but depending on the temperature of your oil, you may need a little less or a little more time.
13. Prepare your rollers by whisking the remaining 2 cups sugar and 1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in one shallow bowl, then placing the 2 cups confectioners sugar in a separate shallow bowl.
14. Set aside.
15. Once donuts are cooked, remove to a wire rack, cool 1 minute then roll in desired sugar.
16. We really loved the cinnamon-sugar mixture as a roller, it seemed to have more of a Fall taste, but the powdered sugar was great too.
17. Makes 36 (HUGE) donut holes.
