Don't you just hate it when you walk past the doughnut maker in the local market or fair? Fear not, you can make your own and bathe in the nostalgia of eating warm sugared dougnuts! The doughnuts will be in the shape of strips like churros - delicious!
12 fl oz of warm (not hot) milk
1 teaspoon of salt
2 1/2 oz caster sugar
8 oz of Gluten free flour
2 teaspoons of xanthan gum
2 teaspoons of yeast granules
oil for deep frying
1 teaspoon of mixed spice or cinnamon (optional)
Pour milk, salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar into the breadmaker pan
Add the flour, xanthan gum and yeast
Set the machine to the 'dough' setting.
When kneaded and proved, heat the oil for deep frying to 190 degrees C, or until a cube of GF bread browns in 30 seconds.
You can either put the dough in a piping bag, or make one with a heavy duty freezer bag (with the corner snipped off) Pipe the mixture into the heated oil, cutting off pieces at 3 inch sections.
Fry for around 4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning the doughnuts over as required. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Toss the pieces in a bag containing the remaining sugar and spices, serve while still warm and fresh.
Recipe notes: I used a heavy duty freezer bag to pipe strips of the fluffy dough out, and it was thick enough to make loops as it emerged out of the bag to create doughnuts witht he holes in the middle. Doughnuts old skool! There is nothing stopping you from icing them before serving, adding sprinkles or whatever you fancy.

Hi, an interesting recipe, and I am in fact about to go and try it... but you left out what to do with the flour. Logically it goes in to the bread machine, but lots of people read recipes and implement verbatim, and would actually not think of that.
Oooops, I have edited. That si what I get for typing recipes before I have had a coffee ;)
These look delicious!!
Maybe this is *really* obvious, but how do you pipe the churros using a freezer bag? and would it work just as well to roll up the dough and cook it in balls?

All you do it pile the batter into a freezer bag and snip one corner off the bottom of the bag to allow the batter to be piped out of the hole. Much easier than using an icing bag - because you don't have the job of cleaning the bag out afterwards. You just throw the bag out when you are finished. You could try rolling the dough into a ball, but it is very soft and gooey, so maybe flour your hands first and give it a try. I'm not sure how that method will work out - let me know!
