Gluten Free Nutella Doughnuts & A Cookbook Giveaway!
I’m in Utah folks! Got in Salt Lake City yesterday afternoon and I’m heading to The Canyons Resort in Park City Utah where the Evo 10 Conference is held this year. To say that I am honored and stoked is putting it mildly. Yesterday as I was watching my inbox implode in between two planes, I just smiled and thought "breathe – take the travel time as a time out". I am looking forward to this week, complete with the workshop in Boulder. Work does pile up when you can’t look! It’s fine though. It’s actually better than fine. It’s impossible to complain when mixing work and play in such beautiful scenery as the mountains of Utah and Colorado.
Before I left I treated B. to a couple of special treats and of course stocked the fridge and freezer. When I made these Nutella Doughnuts from Lorna’s cookbook, The Newlywed Kitchen, they almost ended up being dinner. We just could not stop eating them. Pop. Pop. Pop. Oops… Tender, moist, tangy and filled with Nutella….the one thing we truly fight over in the kitchen. If you finish the jar and do not replace it, be ready to face a mini temper tantrum. And not necessarily from me…!
Last week I raved about the simplicity of the Parmesan Roasted Asparagus Tomatoes and Eggs I made from her cookbook. Well, let me raved about how spending a little bit of time in front of the stove to fry these babies up was worth it. Ten times that even. The recipe comes together in no time and the size of the doughnuts makes them the perfect little bite to have after dinner or as a treat (but you won’t stop at one, let me tell you that!). The oozing Nutella in the center? Literally the proverbial icing on the cake. Per-fect.
I love drop doughnuts and the simplicity of Lorna’s recipe makes them so easy to adapt gluten free. If you are afraid of deep drying. Fear no more. The temperature given for the oil is right on for these. They turn into perfect airy pockets with a slight tang coming from the ricotta and lemon zest. Love how the Nutella plays so well with the lemon zest. Just the right touch of it too. They are so good plain too. Filled with some strawberry jam I made last month. I even filled some with compote I made after the neighbors gifted me with a basket full of sour apples.
Another successful bite from Lorna’s book! And guess what? Today is your chance to get your hands on a copy to see and taste what I am talking about! That’s right! Lorna is graciously giving away a copy of her book to one of you. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post (anonymous please sign a name) – between today Thursday June 24th and Sunday June 27th, midnight Easter time. A winner will be picked at random from the comment pool by my better half.
While in Salt Lake City I stayed with Maria and Josh, the team behind Two Peas And Their Pod and we are heading together to the conference, meeting up with Kristen, Katie, Amy and a whole bunch of people I’m thrilled to meet for the first time. Since this morning is pretty much the most quiet time I foresee for the rest of the week, I thought I’d post some snapshots of our "Bloggers Meet Up". I’ll try to post snapshots of the conference, attendees and speakers as I go along.
Maria organized a little get together for me and Christie from The Table Runner graciously hosted it at her beautiful home. We spent hours talking about life, blogging, food, kids and so much more. Made me go to bed with a full heart and a skip in my step. Thank you ladies for your generosity!
From left to right: Becky at Project Domestication, Barbara from Barbara Bakes, Maria from Two Peas and Their Pod, Brooke from Cheeky Kitchen, Holly from Phemomenon with baby Kayla, Bonnie from City Home Country Home, Dara from Cookin' Canuck, Becky from The Vintage Mixer and Chrisie from The Table Runner up front.
Good luck in Lorna’s cookbook giveaway!
Nutella Doughnuts, courtesy and copyright Lorna Yee from "The Newlywed Kitchen" cookbook.
Makes about 14 doughnuts
Note: to adapt these gluten free, I replace the flour with 1/2 cup superfine sweet rice flour, 1/4 millet, 1/4 cup sorghum flour, and added 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum for a smooth dough.
3 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
8 ounces whole-milk ricotta
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Canola, vegetable, or peanut oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting doughnuts
1 cup Nutella
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs, sugar, ricotta, salt, and vanilla extract. Add the flour and baking powder, and mix until just combined.
Heat 3 inches of the oil in a deep pot until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fat thermometer. Drop a tablespoon of batter into the oil and cook for about 3 minutes on one side, and 2 minutes on the other side. (Do not make the doughnuts much bigger, as the outside will brown too quickly and they won’t cook through.) Don’t overcrowd the pot–you will probably need to fry the doughnuts in three batches. Cut one doughnut open to make sure it’s cooked through before removing the rest of the batch from the oil. When the doughnuts are cooked, scoop them out and allow them to drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.
Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar and pipe Nutella into the center of each one. These doughnuts are meant to be devoured warm out of the fryer, so make them just before you’re both ready to eat them.
Variation: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon or orange zest to the dough and fill the doughnuts with your favorite jelly or lemon curd.

These sounds delicious and I am very interested in the cookbook even though I am no longer considered a newlywed(13 years and counting).
Crystal June 24, 2010 um 8:10 pm
Have fun! I keep Nutella in the house too — my husband is more likely to snack on apples if it's there 🙂

The doughnuts sound great. I'd love to win this cookbook.
Usagi June 24, 2010 um 8:16 pm
I often visit your blog, but I am not comment type of person. But your doughnuts remember me "caluski" – sweet doughnuts-like cookies, that I was eating as a child. It's hard to find them this days.
Yours look soo yummy, mmm…
Greetings from Poland.

Those doughnuts look so good!! I would have to fill them jam though, not a huge nutella fan. 🙂
Jeanne June 24, 2010 um 9:25 pm
Yes, I'm one of those who are afraid of deep frying. But these look so tempting that I just may have to face my fear!
Rachel June 24, 2010 um 9:28 pm
As much as I adore doughnuts, I've never made them – it's that ingrained fear of the vat of boiling oil. But these are so tempting, and you did include the sweet reassurances about the deep frying process. Now I might have to bite the bullet and do it.

Thanks for the cookbook give away. One can never have too many books! Your photography is so very pleasing, calm, comforting….all adding to the desire to devour that which is photographed.

Cookbook!
Fink June 25, 2010 um 3:31 am
Oh I hope I win! When I first saw the Parmesan Roasted Asparagus, Tomatoes and Eggs recipe I was intrigued to see the rest of the recipes in Lorna's The Newlywed Kitchen and now after seeing the Nutella Doughnut recipe with ricotta and lemon zest (yum!), I must own it!
So pretty please pick me, I will definitely put that lovely book to good use 🙂
Rachel June 25, 2010 um 3:44 am
My friend was all smiles about this cookbook! While I'm not a newly-wed, I have a few friends who are, with whom I'd love to share this book and its delicious recipes. I mean, who could resist nutella doughnuts?

Gluten-free AND Nutella? I'm in Heaven!
Anonymous June 25, 2010 um 4:06 am
Nutella is one of my daughters favorite foods. Thank goodness it is gluten free. I will have to make these donuts to welcome them home from girl scout camp.
Banannas June 25, 2010 um 4:08 am

Kendall June 25, 2010 um 4:26 am
My feelings would best be expressed in a monologue from the made for TV move "Paper Dolls" starring Daryl Hannah and the strapping Mr. Craig T. Nelson.
Do you think I'm pretty Ricky? Try to see past all the feathers and the sparkles and the capped teeth. Am I pretty? Look at your little doll now, huh Ricky? Sure you can put makeup on me and spray me with your fancy shmancy French perfumes, but I'm dead inside, Ricky, don't you see? And no perfume is going to cover that up Ricky! I'm dying inside Ricky! and I stink! I stink! I stink!
(Yanked from Saturday Night Live with Molly Shannon as the fabulous Mary Katherine Gallagher…..SUPERSTAR!!!)
P.S. DOUGHNUTS?! NUTELLA?!?! BRILLIANT!

Great photos, as always! I love the rustic backgrounds you have for so many of your photos: slate, old wooden tables, antiques. I'll definitely try these sometime!

Anonymous June 25, 2010 um 7:53 am
Ooooo Nutella. I don't buy it. If I do, I sit and eat the whole jar; by itself. It never even makes it to toast! These look delightful!
I'm planning on getting a copy of the book anyway for my sister who's getting married next year; but I wouldn't mind my own copy!
E lise June 25, 2010 um 7:55 am
Yum! Would like to join!
Unknown June 25, 2010 um 8:05 am

Ruchi M June 25, 2010 um 8:20 am

Ratna June 25, 2010 um 8:31 am
Oh, I just made some donuts too last weekend. And I tried to bake them (for a healthier treat). They were gooooood. The fried version is still better though. 🙂 I frosted them with sugar icing and coconut flakes.
Monique (SA) June 25, 2010 um 8:34 am
Ooh, now wouldn't this cookbook be great for my husband and I. We've been married just over a year and are still mainly cooking his mom's and my mom's meals.
These donuts look divine – must try them soon!
Enjoy the conference!

I personally love the idea of newlywed cooking – time spent in the kitchen is one of the best ways to truly know your significant other – I would definitely do it more if my husband wasn't so territorial in the kitchen 🙂

Constance June 25, 2010 um 12:29 pm
One question – what's the technique for frying the doughnuts in the plump round shape shown in the photos, rather than a teardrop shape?
bunkycooks June 25, 2010 um 12:33 pm
This was a beautiful post. If I made those donuts I would have to eat them all! I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of your time spent with fellow bloggers. It looks as though you had a great time and I bet the temps are wonderful in that part of the country.
Val June 25, 2010 um 12:33 pm
Nice, thanks for hosting the give-away! Everything you make from this book seems spectacular. The words "lemon zest and nutella" are now running through my head like some tasty mantra of things to come. Must. Go. To. Market.
Tovah June 25, 2010 um 12:33 pm
I would love to encourage my husband to come cook with me. And the food you've made looks great! Sign me up:)

The Lady Nomad June 25, 2010 um 1:28 pm
Yum!!! My friend and I practically ate Nutella everyday when we were in Portugal and Spain… We'd buy a jar and a baguette and be set for breakfast, or a snack, or dessert, or whenever!

I LOVE Nutella! I love it so much I make my significant other keep it in the garage if he purchases it… then I won't be tempted to sneak into the kitchen at midnight for a few tablespoons…
I can't wait to try the doughnut recipe!!

Hope you have a lovely weekend,

They taste pretty good with lavender sugar too. Doughnut holes (that's how we call them in my house) is always my favourite!
Aaron June 26, 2010 um 11:39 am
Hi, can I ask how do you pipe the nutella/jam into the doughnuts?
Anonymous June 26, 2010 um 11:42 am
They look wonderful! I've got some nutella in the cupboard, leftover from another recipe, and a few hours spare tomorrow afternoon – I now know what I'll be occupying my time with 🙂

I tried to make jam doughnuts by piping blackberry jam into spanish doughnuts but it just ended up jamming up the piping bag. I think the cookbook could help!

One of the things I miss the most since going gluten free! I love the combination of ricotta and nutella too! The last time I tried to replicate donuts (apple fritters actually). They turned out less that satisfactory. But I'm looking forward to trying out this recipe! Thank YOU!

Michelle Davies June 27, 2010 um 4:50 am
I have only recently summoned the courage to dry deep frying at home again after a messy incident a few years ago with some too-hot-oil and stuffed zucchini flowers. The donuts look like they might assist in the re-discovery process!
Love the photography in your blog.

Louise August 11, 2010 um 11:30 am
I made these tonight for my GF sister's birthday. Subbed sour cream for ricotta and spelt for sorghum due to existing pantry ingredients. The batter was probably a little thinner than it should have been as a result so in turn my doughnuts didn't cook up as round as yours but rolled in cinnamon sugar (too short on time tonight for the nutella step)they were an absolute hit with the birthday girl and everyone at the table. She could hardly believe she got to eat doughnuts! Thank you.

I was just wondering what to do with 2 Costco sized jars of Nutella – nutella doughnuts – done!
AllieT August 27, 2011 um 11:00 am
I'd love to try this recipe, but have a little trouble with american quantities in baking. I can convert ounces to grams okay. However, when you say 8 ounces of ricotta, do you mean 8 ounces by weight (in which case I convert to grams)? Or by volume – so 8 fluid ounces (in which case I convert to millilitres)?
Helene August 27, 2011 um 9:43 pm
Allie T: it's 8oz in weight.
