I came across this recipe when i was going through my to do list. This recipe was suggested by one of my viewer. I searched for this recipe in google and found out that it is such a simple recipe. Luckily i had glutinous rice flour on hand which i bought in bulk for my butter mochi recipe.

About Mochi Doughnuts Recipe

I made it immediately today and it tasted amazing. This donuts is super light, slightly chewy and has a sugary exterior and moist and pillowy interior. You have to use glutinous rice flour in this recipe, else it may not work.

When i tasted this donuts i can taste a similar texture of donuts which we can get in "krispy kreme doughnuts" because of its super light texture.

I will try to create krispy kreme doughnuts soon at home. I have to work on this recipe a little more and do little tweeks here and there to achieve that.
