Homemade donuts

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour. (self-raising)
3 tbs of sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tbs margarine
3/4 cup milk/dairy alternative

Large quantity of oil for deep frying
Sugar for dusting

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients well.  Melt margarine and stir the liquids into the flour to form a thick batter.

Bring your vat of oil up to a medium level of heat and drop portions of the batter in the oil to cook.  Because the dough will float naturally you will have to turn one during cooking to ensure the donuts cook all the way through.

When even golden brown remove the donuts from oil and drain.  When cooled slightly dust with sugar.
