Ingredients
  

  • 120 g sweet rice flour (also known as mochiko)
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder Don’t add too much for the best texture.
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 180 ml milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2.5 ml vanilla extract
  • 500 ml vegetable oil for frying Heat to 350°F (175°C).
  • powdered sugar For dusting.
  • chocolate glaze Optional.
  • sprinkles Optional.
  • coconut flakes Optional.

Equipment

  • Deep Pot or Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Piping Bag

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine sweet rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract together. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You’ll want enough oil to submerge the doughnuts.
  4. Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, shaping them into rings or spheres.
  5. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  6. Once done, remove from the oil and let them sit on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  7. Once cooled slightly, decorate with your choice of toppings.
