Ingredients

• 180 grams Glutinous rice flour
• 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 60 grams Granulated sugar
• 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 500 milliliters Neutral oil (for frying)
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you form a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

Step 4

Heat the neutral oil in a deep pan or fryer until it reaches about 170°C (340°F).

Step 5

While waiting for the oil to heat, lightly oil your hands and shape the dough into small balls, each about the size of a ping pong ball.

Step 6

Build each donut by forming a ring of dough balls (6-8 balls) on a piece of parchment paper.

Step 7

Gently lower the donut rings, with the parchment paper, into the hot oil. The parchment will separate naturally, allowing you to remove it with tongs.

Step 8

Fry each side for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown, using tongs to gently flip them.

Step 9

Carefully remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Once slightly cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar and serve warm.
