Equipment

  • Donut pan I used a 6 cup donut pan that can hold about 275 ml of liquid.

Ingredients
  

For The Donuts

  • Corn starch (flour) to dust
  • 90 grams (3.17 ounces) glutinous rice flour (mochiko flour or 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 (about 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 chocolate (or dark or milk chocolate), roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons Crushed biscuits optional

Instructions
 

For The Donuts

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a donut pan with softened butter and lightly coat with corn starch (flour) (see note 1). Dust off any excess flour.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the glutinous rice flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • 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.
  • Add the wet ingredients from step 3 to the dry ingredients from step 2. Mix until combined and there are no lumps.
  • Place the batter evenly in the prepared donut pan. (see note 2).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the donuts become lightly browned.
  • 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

  • Melt chocolate in a microwave or using the double boiler method.
  • Once melted, mix through the vegetable oil. Place the melted chocolate and oil mixture in a bowl wide enough to dip a donut in.
  • Dip the baked and cooled donuts into the chocolate mixture, shaking off any excess mixture. Place on a wire rack (glaze side up).
  • Optional: Sprinkle the glazed mochi donuts with crushed biscuits before the glaze sets.

Notes

  1. This should make it less likely the donuts stick to the donut tin.
  2. You could use a spoon to do this, or even a piping bag.
  3. If you are having difficultly removing the donuts from the pan, use a toothpick carefully around the edges of the donuts. This should loosen the donuts from the pan.
We recommend you glaze the round side of the donut rather than the flat side.
