Ingredients

50 gram butter, melted

1/2 cup caster sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste

2 cup gluten-free flour

1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/4 cup buttermilk

plain oil for frying

Spiced sugar

1/2 cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

1.In a bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla paste until smooth. Sift over the flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix gently with the buttermilk until you have a smooth batter. Set aside for 15 minutes.

2.To make the spiced sugar, combine the caster sugar and cinnamon in a large flat bowl and set aside.

3.Heat 2 inches of oil in a pan. Test that the oil is at the right temperature with a piece of bread – the bread should turn a golden brown colour over 1-2 minutes without burning.

4.Gently spoon walnut-sized balls of the soft batter into the oil, cooking 3-4 at a time for 3-4 minutes, or until deep golden and cooked though. Drain off any excess oil and roll in the spiced sugar.
