Gluten Free Brazilian Cream Donuts – Doughnuts (Sonho)

Gluten Free Sonhos - Brazilian Cream Donuts

In Brazil, donuts are referred to as “sonhos” meaning “dreams”. The typical Brazilian donut recipe is more of a cake donut and yeast-risen. After making two different yeast-risen batches, I decided on skipping the yeast altogether. This recipe is light, airy, and tender. They get additional sweetness from a dusting of sugar and cinnamon as well as a pastry cream filling.

It is fairly easy to read a label to determine whether or not a decorating product for cakes and cookies contain gluten.
