Mochi Doughnuts, also known as Pon de Ring doughnuts, combine the chewy texture of mochi with the sweetness of a doughnut. These delightful treats are fun to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Doughnuts:

1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochi flour)

1/2 cup tapioca starch

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Glaze (optional):

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Food coloring (optional)

Sprinkles, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Shape the Doughnuts:
    Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a large round tip. On parchment paper, pipe out small rings, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter, connected to form doughnuts. Repeat until all dough is used, making about 12 doughnuts. Cut them out into individual parchment squares.
  3. Fry the Doughnuts:
    Heat oil in a deep pot to 325-350°F (160-175°C). Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and puffed. Remove the parchment paper as it detaches during frying. Drain on a wire rack with paper towels.
  4. Glaze and Decorate (optional):
    In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Add food coloring if desired. Dip the doughnuts into the glaze and top with sprinkles. Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Experiment with different flavored glazes such as almond or citrus zest.

Try using toppings like chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or matcha powder for unique twists.

Use food coloring for a festive or themed look.
