Baked Coconut Doughnuts With Coconut Glaze Food

BAKED COCONUT DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack placed in the center of the oven.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until it is creamy. Add the sugar and continue beating until fluffy. Add the egg and beat until it is fully incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the shredded coconut. In a measuring cup, stir in the coconut extract (or vanilla and almond extracts) into the coconut milk. Add the flour mixture in increments to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Beat until just combined.
• Fill the doughnut pan about 2/3 full. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Gently remove the doughnuts from the pan.
• Make the glaze by stirring together the powdered sugar, lime juice, and coconut milk until smooth.
• Dip the doughnuts in the glaze and let the excess drip off, then dip it into the coconut to coat. Let it cool on a wire rack...or enjoy immediately.

GLUTEN-FREE BAKED COCONUT DONUTS

Steps:

• Raspberry-Coconut Confectioners'-Sugar Glaze:Whisk together confectioners' sugar, coconut oil, freeze-dried raspberries, and salt. Whisk in coconut milk until mixture is smooth and thick, and has the texture of pourable honey. Glaze can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days; stir until smooth before using. (Makes 1 1/2 cups.)
• Donuts:Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush 3 standard donut pans with oil. Whisk together almond flour, cornmeal, coconut, baking powder, and salt. Beat oil with sugar on medium-high speed until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture and milk.
• Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip (such as Ateco #807), or to a resealable plastic bag, then snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe about 3 tablespoons into each cup of pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 9 minutes (1 to 2 minutes less, if pan isn't full). Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks set in rimmed baking sheets and let cool completely.
• Dip top of each donut in glaze until halfway submerged, turning as needed to evenly coat one side, then place, glaze-side up, on racks. Sprinkle each with a pinch of coconut and a pinch of freeze-dried raspberries. Let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour. Donuts are best served the day they are made, but can be stored, unglazed, in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day; glaze 1 hour before serving.

COCONUT DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Make the doughnuts
• 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the first six ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the superfine brown rice flour, almond flour, potato starch, coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until the dough comes together. Knead it with your hands a couple of times. It will be soft.
• 2. Dust a work surface with a generous amount of superfine brown rice flour. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and dust another bit of flour on top of the dough. Pat the dough down a bit. As the dough sits, it will start to get a bit more compact and will be easier to work with. If it feels too soft, you can refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes. Roll the dough to a 3/4-inch thickness.
• 3. Dust a 2-inch cookie cutter or doughnut cutter with additional flour. Cut out circles and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you are using a cookie cutter, cut out 1/2-inch holes from the center of the disks. You can re-roll the scraps once to make more doughnuts.
• 4. Chill the doughnuts in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a shallow cast-iron pan with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil until it reads 340°F (170°C) on a candy thermometer or instant-read thermometer.
• 5. Carefully add the doughnuts to the oil in batches; do not overcrowd the pan. The doughnuts will sink and then rise when they are almost done. Cook to golden brown, turning the doughnuts once. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat the frying process with the doughnut holes. Let them cool slightly.
• Make the glaze and finish the doughnuts
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients. Dip the doughnuts in the glaze and cover with the shredded coconut.
