Ingredients

• 200 grams Sweet rice flour (mochiko)
• 50 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 8 grams Baking powder
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 200 milliliters Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
• 50 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sweet rice flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Step 4

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate.

Step 5

While the dough is resting, heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 170°C (340°F).

Step 6

Shape the dough into small balls about the size of a ping-pong ball. Group 8 small balls together to form a ring and gently press them together making a donut shape.

Step 7

Carefully slide each donut into the hot oil using a spatula or slotted spoon. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry each donut for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the donuts from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Allow the donuts to cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy while warm for the best texture!
