Gluten Free Donut Recipe Preparation

To obtain sherbet, boil water, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan for 20 minutes. Then, throw the dough into the hot oil with the help of a dessert spoon and wait for it to brown. Then pour the removed bites into sherbet and wait for 5 minutes. Especially optionally, we can serve it by sprinkling walnuts or hazelnuts. Moreover, it increases the nutritional value.
However, for a more colorful and delicious bite, pistachios can be finely ground and added to the dough.
It is possible to use substitute stevia syrup (1 cup) instead of sugar in the recipe. However, you should not use honey-derived products because of HMF. In addition, using yeast instead of baking powder is also an option. In this case, the dough should be rested for 1 hour.

What is HMF?
HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural), an intermediate product of the Maillard reaction, is a carcinogenic substance. It is formed in foods such as honey with heat treatment. It creates many negative changes such as taste and smell, especially in honey. TGK allowed 40 mg/kg HMF in honey. HMF is especially caused by heating honey at temperatures of 90oC and above.
What is Stevia?
It is a natural sweetener obtained from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is 50-300 times sweeter than sugar and is resistant to temperature. Stevia is an herb abundantly found in South America. Due to its low calorie content, it has recently been preferred more than sports drinks.
