Ingredients
Scale
Doughnuts
- 1 cup Glutinous Rice Flour
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Butter
- ½ cup Hot Water (or as needed)
- Refined Oil (for frying)
Coating
- ½ cup Caster Sugar
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Mix the caster sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl and set it aside for coating the doughnuts later.
- Combine Dry Ingredients and Butter: In a mixing bowl, add glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, and butter. Stir to combine.
- Add Hot Water and Knead Dough: Gradually add hot water while mixing until the dough begins to moisten. Knead the mixture for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Shape Dough Balls: Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll each into a ball, preparing them for frying.
- Heat Oil and Fry Doughnuts: Heat refined oil in a deep frying pot over medium-low heat. Fry the dough balls for approximately 3 to 5 minutes each until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain and Coat: Remove the fried doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, thoroughly coat each doughnut in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Notes
- Maintain medium-low heat while frying to ensure the doughnuts cook evenly without burning.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more glutinous rice flour while kneading.
- Serve mochi doughnuts warm for the best chewy texture and flavor.
- Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container; reheat briefly to restore chewiness.
- For a variation, try rolling the fried doughnuts in powdered sugar or nut toppings.
