Dough Ingredients
- 30g glutinous rice flour (for a chewy texture)
- 30g cake rice flour (for a soft texture)
- 40g almond flour (adds richness and nutrition)
- 2g baking powder (helps the donuts rise)
- 1 large egg
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or other vegetable oil)
Sugar Glaze Ingredients
- 30g powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for a touch of tartness)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 30g powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for a touch of tartness)
- 1 tablespoon water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and add the granulated sugar. Whisk them together vigorously until the mixture is pale yellow and slightly thickened, indicating that the sugar has started to dissolve.
Step 2
Pour in the milk and grapeseed oil. Whisk gently until all the wet ingredients are well combined and emulsified into a smooth liquid.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the glutinous rice flour, cake rice flour, almond flour, and baking powder at least twice. This aeration step ensures a lighter texture and prevents lumps in your batter.
Step 4
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, gently fold the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as you no longer see streaks of dry flour. Overmixing can lead to tough donuts.
Step 5
Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag. If you don’t have one, a sturdy Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off will work. Pipe the batter into your donut molds, filling each cavity about two-thirds full to allow for rising. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, carefully remove the donuts from the mold and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 6
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the sugar glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water. Stir until you achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency. If it’s too thick, add a tiny bit more water; if it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. Once the donuts are completely cool, generously drizzle or spread the glaze over each one. Allow the glaze to set before serving for the best texture and flavor.
