  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar 160 grams
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch 15 grams
  • 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder, 6 grams
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch nutmeg freshly grated
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk 177 milliliters
  • 2 egg large
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled, unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups powdered sugar 250 grams
  • 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder green tea powder
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk 30-60 milliliters
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • white chocolate for decorating, optional, pink bows or sprinkles

Instructions

Matcha Donuts:

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease 2-3 baked doughnut pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cornstarch, matcha, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix into the flour mixture just until incorporated with no lumps.
  4. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into prepared doughnut pans. Each cavity should be about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake in preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 10-12 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.

Matcha Glaze:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and matcha.
  2. Slowly whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth. If too thin, add more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more milk.
  3. Immediately dip the top of a cooled doughnut into the glaze. Repeat with remaining doughnuts and glaze.
  4. If desired, top with white chocolate decorations or sprinkles.
  5. Allow to set briefly before serving.
