Did you know that National Doughnut Day was originally created by the Salvation Army in 1917? Apparently, doughnuts were fried in an American soldiers helmet in an effort to boost the morale of the troops. Since then, National Doughnut day has always been celebrated on the first Friday of June. Both Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts are giving away free doughnuts today. A lot of good that does us Gluten free folks! No worries, you can make your own delicious doughnuts using my Gluten free Unbelievably Good Cake Doughnuts recipe. Happy dunking!
National Doughnut day? I just MUST celebrate! I think I will give these a try. Another reason for me to love Salvation Army. :) The recipe seems easy enough. I will let you know if I am successful. I have never even made them before I was eating gluten free.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Jen... try them! I am curious to hear the results if they are made in your electric skillet vs. the deep fryer.

I made doughnut holes with Pamela's mix once and they came out great. I haven't attempted to form the whole doughnut. I took them to a party and they were devoured.
ReplyDeleteThey really are unbelievably good!
Yes... they are yummy! Try making the whole doughnut sometime... it's much easier than I thought it would be.
