Notes
To transform these Glazed Lemon Delight Donuts into a gluten-free version. All you need to do is switch out the regular flour for a gluten-free all-purpose flour mix. Just make sure the mix is designed for a 1:1 swap. To maintain the donut’s delightful taste. If your mix doesn’t include xanthan gum (which helps with texture). Simply add 1/4 teaspoon of it to your ingredients. This simple adjustment. Allows you to savor these tangy donuts. Without worrying about gluten.
