Ingredients

• 240 grams Glutinous rice flour
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 180 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 50 grams Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by microwaving it in short intervals until fully liquefied, then let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and shape it into a ring, ensuring the ends are sealed well.

Step 7

In a large pot or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to 170°C (340°F) using a thermometer to maintain the temperature.

Step 8

Carefully place a few donuts into the hot oil without overcrowding the pot. Fry each mochi donut for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Once drained, dust the donuts with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
