Mochi Donut Recipe
Mochi donuts combine chewy rice flour dough with a light, slightly crisp exterior — a texture that sets them apart from standard yeast or cake donuts. The dough comes together quickly, and the donuts fry up in under 30 minutes. Dip them in a simple glaze or go bold with colorful toppings.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Frying pan
- wire rack
- Slotted spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour preferably organic
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup whole milk room temperature
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Scoop portions of the dough using a tablespoon and form small balls. Carefully drop them into the hot oil in batches. Fry each donut for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain them on a wire rack to remove excess oil.
- Allow the donuts to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a flavor twist, try adding matcha or cocoa powder to the dough.
- Alternatively, dust the finished donuts with powdered sugar or serve with a dipping sauce such as chocolate ganache.
