These jelly doughnuts look amazing. You can't even tell that they are allergen-free!
Every now and then, I get hit with emails that seem to have uncanny timing….
This was the subject line:
“Allergy-Free Beignets for Mardi Gras by Elizabeth Gordon”
I was just bemoaning the fact that the frozen doughnuts in the organic aisle are almost perfect for Ava … except they contain eggs. So I was toying with the idea of whipping up some homemade ones. All I needed was a recipe.
This is where the email came in. I was intrigued enough to open it up. This is what it opened with:
With Mardi Gras just around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with beignets! Elizabeth Gordon’s new book “The Complete Allergy-Free Comfort Foods Cookbook” includes a fantastic jelly donut recipe that is essentially a gluten-, dairy-, soy-, nut-, and egg-free beignet.
It’s over after I see the words jelly donut. I die for jelly doughnuts. I just ate two the other night in the newsroom. Nomnom. Add to the fact that this recipe is free of all Ava’s allergens? Get outta here. I gotta try it.
The lovely PR lady was kind enough to send me Elizabeth Gordon’s recipe. Fortunately, there are only two ingredients (sorghum and millet flour) that aren’t a part of my pantry already, so I’m super stoked to try this out. I’ll post pics of my efforts at a later date.
But wait, there’s more! Click here!
