FAQs
Can I bake these doughnuts instead of frying?
While frying gives the doughnuts their signature crispy exterior, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway, but the texture will be softer and less crisp.
What can I use if I don’t have glutinous rice flour?
Glutinous rice flour has unique properties, but as a substitute, you might try sweet rice flour or even a mix of regular rice flour and tapioca starch, though the texture will differ.

Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- Oil for frying (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar thoroughly. Gradually add the milk while stirring to form a smooth, pliable dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Shape the Doughnuts: Divide the dough into small portions and shape each into a round or doughnut shape, depending on your preference. Make sure the pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a deep frying pan or wok to a depth of about 2 inches and heat it over medium heat to approximately 350°F (175°C). To test the readiness, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- Fry the Doughnuts: Carefully place the shaped dough into the hot oil, frying a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Maintain the oil temperature to avoid greasy doughnuts; too low temperature causes sogginess, too high burns the outside.
- You can add vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the dough for enhanced flavor.
- For a gluten-free treat, ensure using pure glutinous rice flour without additives.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey if desired.
