  • 1/4 tsp Salt (1.5 g)
  • 1/2 cup Milk (120 ml)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence (5 ml)

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (Enough to deep fry in your pot)

Matcha Glaze (Optional)

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar (120 g)
  • 1 tbsp Match powder (8 g)
  • 2-3 tbsp Milk (30-45 ml)

Instructions
 

Mochi Starter

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup glutinous rice flour and 3 tbsp milk.
  • Microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Stir well to ensure a smooth consistency. Set aside to cool.

Donut Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of glutinous rice flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Add 1 egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla essence to the dry ingredients.
  • Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Incorporate the cooled Mochi starter from into the mixture. Knead the dough until it is uniform and slightly sticky.
  • The dough should be soft and pliable. If it's too sticky, you can add a little more glutinous rice flour until it reaches the desired consistency.

Forming and Frying

  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to medium heat (around 350°F or 175°C).
  • Divide the dough into quarters.
  • Take a portion of the dough and roll it into small balls. Connect the balls to form a ring-shaped donut. Repeat for the remaining dough.
  • Carefully place the formed donuts into the preheated oil. Fry each donut until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Glaze

  • Allow the donuts to cool for a few minutes.

Matcha Glaze

  • In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tbsp matcha powder.
  • Gradually add 2-3 tbsp of milk, whisking continuously until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.

Raspberry Glaze:

  • In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tbsp raspberry powder.
  • Gradually add 2-3 tbsp of milk, whisking continuously until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
  • Dip each donut into the matcha or raspberry glaze while they are still slightly warm.
  • Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
  • Enjoy your Paris Baguette inspired gluten free donuts!
