INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups Mochiko (sweet white rice flour)
    • 1 cup tapioca flour
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥛 ⅔ cup whole milk
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🥚 1 large egg

  • For Frying and Decoration

    • Canola oil for frying
    • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
    • 🥛 2 tablespoons whole milk
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon ground freeze-dried fruit such as strawberry, mango, or dragon fruit

STEPS

1

Combine rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Mix until a smooth dough forms, 1-2 minutes.

2

Lightly dust a clean work surface with rice flour. Divide dough into quarters and roll into 18-inch ropes. Cut into 1-inch pieces and roll into balls (about 72 total).

3

Cut 9 pieces of parchment paper (5x5 inches). Arrange 8 dough balls into a ring on each parchment piece (about 3.5 inches in diameter), sealing with water.

4

Heat 2 inches of canola oil in a Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Place up to 3 dough rings (with the parchment) into the oil. Remove parchment when dough floats. Fry until golden, 2-3 minutes, turning halfway.

5

Transfer fried donuts to a wire rack lined with paper towels for cooling. Repeat with remaining dough. Cool for 10 minutes.

6

For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Add extra milk as needed for a thick glaze. Dip donuts and set on rack.

7

Mix 2 teaspoons freeze-dried fruit powder into the remaining glaze. Dip second batch of donuts and sprinkle with additional fruit powder.
