Not every product on our shelves is gluten free, and we think it is important to be upfront about that. This Donut Pre-Mix is a conventional baking product that contains wheat, gluten, soy, and milk, and is not suitable for coeliacs, those with gluten intolerance, or anyone managing soy or dairy allergies. For households where gluten is welcome, however, this mix is a genuinely impressive shortcut to light, golden, beautifully textured fried donuts that taste like they came from a proper bakery. Grandma always believed that a well-stocked pantry should work for everyone at the table, and sometimes that means having the right mix on hand for the people who can enjoy it.
Flavour Profile: This donut mix produces a lightly sweetened, tender batter with a soft, fluffy crumb and a delicately golden crust that crisps up beautifully at frying temperature. The flavour is classic and crowd-pleasing, with a gentle milky sweetness and the faintest hint of spice that makes it work just as well dusted in cinnamon sugar as it does topped with icing or filled with jam. The finished donut has that satisfying bakery-style chew without being dense or greasy when fried correctly.
How to Use It: To make the batter, combine 1kg of donut mix with 500ml of water and blend on low speed for one minute, then increase to medium speed for a further minute until smooth. For the best results, adjust your water temperature so the finished batter sits between 20 and 22 degrees Celsius, which gives the mix the right consistency for even frying. Rest the batter for 10 minutes before frying, as this allows the aerating agents to do their work and gives you a lighter, more even result. Fry at 190 degrees Celsius until golden, then toss the warm donuts immediately in a cinnamon sugar mixture so the coating adheres properly while the surface is still hot. Pipe or spoon the batter depending on your preferred donut shape, and avoid overloading the fryer as this drops the oil temperature and affects the final texture.
Ways to Serve and Finish Your Donuts: Classic cinnamon sugar donuts are the simplest and most satisfying finish, requiring nothing more than a generous toss straight out of the fryer while the surface is still warm and slightly tacky. A simple vanilla glaze made from icing sugar, milk, and a drop of vanilla transforms the same batter into something that looks considerably more impressive on a plate. Ring donuts filled with good quality raspberry jam or thick vanilla custard after frying are a perennial crowd favourite and work beautifully for celebrations and school events. Chocolate-dipped donuts finished with sprinkles or crushed nuts are a straightforward next step for anyone wanting to take the presentation further. For a more grown-up finish, a drizzle of salted caramel and a sprinkle of flaked sea salt turns a simple fried donut into something genuinely worth showing off.
