Ingredients

Units Scale

donuts

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon matcha
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup (56g) melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 23 tbsp milk

Strawberry Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon strawberry jam
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • (optional) a dot of red food colouring


Instructions

Make donuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your doughnut pan with neutral oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sift in the matcha powder.
  3. In large bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the doughnuts soft and fluffy. The dough will be very sticky and thick.
  5. Scoop the batter onto a large piece of plastic wrap into a log. Fold the top and bottom of the wrap around the batter horizontally so that the batter is covered. Grab both ends of the wrap firmly and spin the log of batter in a circular motion so that the ends are tight and secure. Cut one tail of the log just before the batter and slide the log into a piping bag. Cut the tip of the piping bag roughly the 3/4 of the thickness of the donut shape in the pan. Pipe into the greased doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 75% full.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean. Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes upside down on a wire rack. Use a toothpick to gently remove the donuts from the batter.

Make the Vanilla Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

Make the Strawberry Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry jam, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add food colouring for a more vibrant colour. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

Assemble

  1. Dip each cooled doughnut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
