Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil, about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Mix dough ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar, then gradually add milk while stirring until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Adjust the milk quantity slightly if necessary to achieve a workable dough consistency that is not too sticky.
  2. Shape doughnuts: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly and create a small hole in the center to form the doughnut shape.
  3. Fry until golden: Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully drop the doughnuts into the oil. Fry them in batches, turning occasionally until they turn golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving.

Notes

  • Use glutinous rice flour specifically for the chewy texture; regular rice flour will not produce the same result.
  • Maintain an oil temperature of about 350°F (175°C) to ensure even frying and prevent doughnuts from absorbing excess oil.
  • Serve doughnuts warm for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can dust with powdered sugar or dip in sweetened condensed milk for extra sweetness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat by pan-frying briefly to restore crispness.
