Donuts, Donuts, Donuts!

For years, I have tried to make gluten-free donuts. They were either rock hard, or tasted like sawdust, with sugar on top. Well, today I finally did it!
At Walmart, they sell a gluten-free Scone Mix, by Blue Chip Group. I've had great success with making bread, and rolls with this product, but was skeptical about trying donuts.
They were delish! Notice I said "were". They are all gone now. I'm sure they went straight to my thighs, but they were oh... so...good! ( btw the kids ate a bunch too!)
First, I started by mixing up the dough, rolling it out, and cutting out the donuts with a biscuit cutter. I made the hole in the middle using a metal cake decorating tip(the non-decorative end). I them put them in the oven to proof for about 10 minutes.



Next I fried them for about 3 minutes each side, then dipped them in the glaze.



Dont they look wonderful?



The finished product...
