Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams Sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
- 75 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 240 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk, for glaze
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a slightly sticky dough.
Lightly dust a work surface with some all-purpose flour. Transfer the dough onto the surface and knead gently to bring it together, adding more flour if needed to manage stickiness.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
To shape the donuts, split each ball into 8 smaller balls. Arrange the small balls in a ring to form a donut shape, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each donut for approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels.
For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the top of each donut into the glaze and return to the cooling rack to set.
Serve the mochi donuts fresh and enjoy their chewy sweetness!
