Indulge in the chewy, pillowy goodness of Dairy-Free Mochi Donuts, a delightful twist on traditional donuts that are perfect for those seeking a lactose-free treat. Made with glutinous rice flour and almond milk, these donuts boast a uniquely soft and bouncy texture that pairs beautifully with their crispy golden exterior. Crafted from simple pantry staples like baking powder, vanilla extract, and a touch of powdered sugar for sweetness, this recipe offers a quick, easy way to create a batch of irresistible snacks in under 40 minutes. Fried to perfection and lightly dusted with powdered sugar, these mochi donuts are best enjoyed warm and make an excellent dessert or snack for dairy-free lifestyles.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the almond milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until the wet ingredients are combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms. Ensure there are no lumps in the dough.
On a surface lightly dusted with glutinous rice flour, divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then form a ring by poking a hole through the center and lightly stretching it to form the donut shape.
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 170°C (340°F). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature accurately.
Carefully place a few donuts into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the donuts for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the donuts from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Let the donuts cool slightly before dusting them generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free mochi donuts!
