Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour)
  • ⅓ cup (40g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder (ceremonial grade recommended)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) milk (dairy or plant-based), room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tbsp black sesame paste or black tahini
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based) for glaze
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your donut pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and matcha powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the tops spring back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the donuts in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  8. Prepare the black sesame glaze by whisking powdered sugar, black sesame paste, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Adjust milk gradually to get a thick but pourable consistency.
  9. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze one at a time, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Place them back on the wire rack to let the glaze set for about 15 minutes.
  10. Serve and enjoy! Best eaten the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts light and chewy. Use fresh, high-quality matcha powder for best color and flavor. Grease the pan well to prevent sticking. Cool donuts completely before glazing to avoid melting the glaze. If glaze thickens, microwave for 10 seconds to loosen.
