Ingredients

For The Donuts
  • corn starch flour to dust
  • 90 grams (3.17 ounces) glutinous rice flour (mochiko flour, sweet rice flour)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 30 grams (1.06 ounces) unsalted butter melted, plus extra to grease
  • 30 grams (1.06 ounces) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (60 grams, 2.11 ounces), room temperature
  • 100 ml/grams (3.53 ounces) milk room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For The Glaze
  • 120 grams (4.23 ounces) white cooking chocolate roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

For The Donuts
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a donut pan with softened butter and lightly coat with corn starch (flour) flour (see note 1). Dust off any excess flour.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the glutinous rice flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar. Then whisk in the egg. Once the egg is mixed through, stir through the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients from step 3 to the dry ingredients from step 2. Mix until combined and there are no lumps.
  5. Place the batter evenly in the prepared donut pan. (see note 2).
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the donuts become lightly browned.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Then remove from pan and allow to cool completely. (see note 3).
For The Glaze
  1. Melt chocolate in a microwave or using the double boiler method.
  2. Once melted, mix through the vegetable oil.
  3. Dip the cooled donuts into the chocolate mixture, shaking off any excess mixture. Place on a wire rack (glaze side up).
  4. While the glaze is still soft, place some Christmas sprinkles on top. Then allow the glaze to set slightly and serve.

Notes

  • This should make it less likely the donuts stick to the donut tin.
  • You could use a spoon to do this, or even a piping bag.
  • If you are having difficulty removing the donuts from the pan, use a toothpick carefully around the edges of the donuts. This should loosen the donuts from the pan.
