Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted unsalted butter. Whisk together until fully combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and no dry lumps remain.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese into the batter gently until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the cheese donuts warm as a savory treat or appetizer.
