Ingredients
  

  • 80 g starter discard
  • 80 g tapioca starch
  • 75 g brown rice flour
  • 95 g sorghum flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 60 g white sugar
  • 9 g salt
  • 20 g whole psyllium husk
  • 9 g finely ground flaxseed
  • 120 g lukewarm water
  • 130 g lukewarm milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 60 g soft butter
  • icing sugar for dusting over the cooked doughnuts
  • finely ground white rice flour as needed for dusting

Instructions
 

Mix the dough

  • To a large bowl, add the tapioca starch, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar and salt.
  • In a medium bowl add the psyllium husk and flax seed. Immediately whisk in the water, milk and egg to form a gel.
  • Add the psyllium gel, starter and soft butter to the flour blend and mix well in a kitchen mixer or with your hands.
  • Rest the dough at room temperature for about 30 minutes, before rolling it out.
  • Cut some parchment paper slightly larger than 11" x 15". Sprinkle the paper with a little flour and place the dough on the paper.

Roll out the dough

  • Roll the dough out on the parchment paper into about an 11×15 inch rectangle.
  • With a cookie cutter, cut out ghost shapes and use the end of a paint brush or a similar utensil to make the ghost eyes. Poke a hole all the way through the dough for each eye.
  • Place the dough onto parchment paper and heat up the oil.

Heat the oil and fry

  • Add the oil to a deep, medium sized saucepan and heat it to 375°F (190°C)
  • Add 6 or 7 ghosts to the hot oil, leaving lots of room between each one, and fry about 2 minutes per side. Flip the fritters over with a spoon.
  • Remove the ghost doughnuts from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Dust the doughnuts with icing sugar and eat while still warm.
