Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mochiko flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Mochiko flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these together until evenly mixed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. It’s fine if the batter is slightly lumpy; overmixing can affect the texture.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into each cavity of the donut pan, filling them halfway to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, glaze or dust with your preferred toppings before serving.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond, soy, or oat milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain the characteristic chewy texture.
  • Glaze with matcha, chocolate, or simple powdered sugar glaze to enhance flavors.
  • Ensure the donut pan is well-greased to easily release the mochi donuts after baking.
