Old Fashioned Donuts

Fannie Farmer calls these "Old Fashioned" donuts as opposed to yeast donuts and that is what husband based this recipe on. Obviously, he made a few changes to the Fannie Farmer recipe...

I ate these when I could have almonds but they only have a half cup almond flour. I am posting in the hopes we can modify this to not contain nuts. 

Makes about 7 donuts, plus holes

2 eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1/2 cup almond flour
1 cup potato flour (approx)

Mix eggs, syrup, baking powder, salt, and coconut oil. Add almond flour and then potato flour until it's just workable, no more.

Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Knead for a couple minutes, then roll out about 1/2" thick. Cut out donuts or crullers or whatever. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Set deep fryer to 360 degrees. It should be hot enough that they brown but not so hot that they don't cook through before they do. Fry them until they're brown on one side, then flip (they float on top of the oil). Place on paper towels to cool.
