Katz Gluten Free Custard Donuts 
I would say, “Please forgive me IF I ever repeat myself..” but I know there’s no IF to it. So, instead, I’ll just say that I hope you’ll forgive me WHEN I repeat myself.
But, here’s the thing: When you have a food blog (or any blog for that matter), someone may land on a particular post, such as this review, and know absolutely zilch about the chocoholic, overly-caffeinated, crazy cat lady behind these words.
Nice to meet you, by the way.
So, from time to time, if you’re a beautiful and charming regular reader, you’ll hear me repeat things. For this I’m sorry – but do know that I love you… if that helps.
A while back, my oldest daughter (Emily) and I had to begin a TOTAL gluten and wheat free diet. Goodbye anything and everything containing either. It actually covers more foods than I’d have ever imagined possible.
Long story short – it was a very, very tough transition. As someone who loves to cook as much as she loves to eat – it turned my very world upside down.
Katz Delicious Gluten Free Custard Donuts (disappearing fast!)
Fortunately, we both soon discovered that there are A LOT of wonderful gluten free foods on the market. I’ve begun documenting the best of the best with my gluten free food reviews on Get Cooking because, let’s face it, Gluten Free food doesn’t come cheap and you don’t want to buy anything you aren’t sure you’ll even like.
I get an extra kick when I come across something I love and, then, have the opportunity to tell you all about. Enter, Katz Gluten Free Custard Donuts!
One of the things I missed most (after my world somersaulted) was doughnuts. The smell, the taste, the downright fun you have eating one. I missed it and missed it badly.
I tried several gluten free doughnuts on the market but wasn’t really blown away. They were okay, mind you, they just didn’t have that certain something that I couldn’t identify, yet knew I missed
One day I was taking part in one of my favorite sports, shopping on Amazon, when I came across the glorious Katz Gluten Free Custard Donuts you see here. Basically, while throwing two packages (one for me and one for Em) into my cart, I did an excited little happy dance in my chair.
It amuses my cat.

When they came in the mail, I tore into my package of doughnuts like it was my job. See the top picture? It’s kind of blurry because my heart wasn’t in the photography process – it just wanted to skip to the part where I shove one in my mouth.
Back when I could eat any doughnut that came along (which I did), my favorites were chocolate long johns, custard-filled doughnuts, jelly-filled doughnuts, plain fat yeast-y doughnuts, and the little doughnut holes covered in powdered sugar that kind of melt in your mouth.
These Katz Gluten Free Custard Donuts
The first thing I noticed was that wonderful, delicious, familiar smell. Opening the box smelled like opening a box of doughnuts from the bakery and it was a moment I never wanted to end!
I made a special pot of coffee for the occasion and enjoyed a cup with my first (okay… and second…) gluten free custard doughnut. The flavors brought back to mind everything I love about doughnuts. Without sounding too flowery (or maybe it should be flour-y), it’s a flavor I honestly had given up ever enjoying again.

The consistency of the doughnuts are excellent, the powdered sugar is superb (bringing back the lovely experience of powdered sugar covered little doughnuts I grew up with), and the custard filling is SPOT ON. I scream SPOT ON because it is awfully easy to mess up custard filling – or any type of filling for that matter.
Filling should be an “accent” – kind of a bonus flavor. But so many times people put so much custard filling into the doughnut that you’re swimming in custard. Soon, it isn’t as though you’re eating a custard-filled doughnut as much as it’s like you’re eating a bowl of custard with a few crumbs thrown in.
No thanks. I want the doughnuts to be the stars of their own shows, with custard as a beautiful bonus.
Katz Gluten Free Custard Donuts are the absolute perfect combination of doughnut, powdered sugar, and delicious creamy custard.

Seriously, these could not be any more delicious if they had a gun to their beautiful little sugary heads.
Watch for a lot more Katz Gluten Free Food Reviews, as I will be buying everything they sell on Amazon. I’ll be doing so with my “Noah’s Ark Shopping Approach” – as in two by two.
