Sweet Potato Rice Donuts
Sweet Potato Rice Donuts blend cooked sweet potato with sweet rice flour and a touch of all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. After shaping into small balls, they are deep-fried gently in oil until golden and evenly browned, then rolled in cinnamon sugar. The result is a tender, chewy donut with subtle sweetness and a warm spice coating, offering a different texture from typical wheat-based donuts.

Ingredients
- 3/4 lb (340 g) sweet potato cooked and peeled
- 2 cup (250 g) sweet rice flour glutenous rice flour, chapssal-garu
- 1/3 cup (40 g) all-purpose flour can omit for gluten-free
- 1/3 cup (65 g) sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1-1 1/3 cup (240-320 ml) milk almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk, hot
- neutral cooking oil for deep-frying, generic cooking oil
For the cinnamon sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mash sweet potato and add to the flour mixture and rub together until the flours become fine crumbs.
- Slowly add hot milk (1/4 cup of milk each time) to the mixture and mix together with a spoon first, then using hand bring the dough together to form a ball shape. The amount of milk depends on the moisture level of your potatoes. It should resemble the bread dough consistency.
- Make them into 1-inch balls with the dough. Set aside and cover with a towel.
- Heat oil in a wok or fryer over medium low temperature. Drop a few dough balls and start rolling with a metal utensil to brown them evenly, about 5 minutes. Make sure your oil is not too hot. About 145ºC is ideal temperature.
- Transfer the donuts to a plate lined with paper towel to remove extra oil on the surface. Roll the donuts in cinnamon sugar and coat evenly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
