Mochi Donuts
Are you food lover seeking a unique culinary adventure? A devoted donut enthusiast searching for a new twist on an old favorite? Today, we embark on a mouthwatering journey to discover the irresistible charm of mochi donuts.
Ingredients :
- 1 cup mochiko
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 drop food coloring
- 3-4 cups vegetable oil
Directions :
- Whisk mochiko, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
- Add milk, sugar, egg, and vegetable shortening In another bowl, and whisk together until slightly frothy.
- Sift your flour mixture directly into the bowl with your wet ingredients.
- Mix flour into wet ingredients until the ingredients are incorporated, and the batter is smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 drop of any food coloring of your choice to create the frosting. Duplicate this process for as many colors of frosting as you want!
- Fill a piping bag with some of your batter and pipe quarter-sized dollops in a circle onto a small piece of parchment paper to create your donut. You can trace a circle on a separate sheet of paper to place underneath the parchment as a stencil on which to base your donut.
- Carefully lift the parchment paper with the donut and place it into 3 or 4 inches of boiling vegetable oil to deep fry the donut.
- Once your donuts have cooled, dip them face down in the icing and then place them right side up on a rack to dry. As the icing cools, it will turn into more of a glaze.
- Serve and enjoy!
