Chocolate Donut Holes -- wheat-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, Yay!

These are little Fritters.  Yum!


Chocolate Donut Holes -- allergy friendly


Combine in a large bowl


2 cups flour mix
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 packet unflavored gelatin (Knox)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup fructose


Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined


1 cup liquid (I used a combination of peach juice -- from a can of no sugar added peaches -- and goat milk)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla


Heat about 3/4" canola oil in a pot.  Drop batter into the hot oil in about 1 to 2 tablespoon blobs.  When the batter floats to the top and has bubbles around the edges, flip the fritters.  Allow them to cook until they are just firm and remove them to paper towels.


You can sprinkle them with fructose, Truvia, or a blend of 1:2 cornstarch:Stevia in the Raw measurable.


Makes about 1 1/2 dozen donut fritters.

Allergy-friendly Funnel Cake!!

Yes, folks, you read that right.  My family and I enjoyed homemade Funnel Cakes this afternoon without having to eat any sugar, dairy, eggs, wheat, or soy!


Allergy-friendly Funnel Cake!!


Combine the "wet" ingredients in a bowl


1 cup goat milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons ground flax + 1/3 cup warm water
1 teaspoon vanilla


In another large bowl combine


2 cups flour mix
1 packet gelatin (Knox)
1 tablespoon fructose
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder


Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until they are just combined.  The batter should be thin enough to flow through the end of a funnel.  Add more water if necessary.


Heat about 1" of cooking oil in a pot that is about 6" to 8" across.  Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the funnel while holding the spout so that it doesn't pour out.  (This is a two person job!)  Release the spout so the batter pours into the hot oil.  Swirl the batter around and around until the funnel is empty.  Be very careful at this point, the batter can suddenly release steam and cause a nasty burn!


When the cake has puffed up and is no longer wet looking on top, (about 2 minutes), flip it and let it finish cooking, about another minute.  Remove it to paper towels to drain.  Repeat with remaining batter.


When the cakes are done, sprinkle them with a combination of about


1 cup Ideal Confectionery
1/4 cup cornstarch


Serve warm.  Makes about 8 servings.
