Ingredients

Donuts

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • Oil for frying

Matcha Cream Filling

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar to taste
  • White chocolate drizzle to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg, whisking well to blend.
  3. Combine batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
  4. Cook donuts: Heat oil to 350°F in a skillet and fry the donuts for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown, or alternatively, pour batter into greased donut molds and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Whip matcha cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, creating a light and creamy filling.
  6. Fill donuts: Once donuts are cooled, use a piping bag to fill them with the matcha cream gently.
  7. Add toppings: Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar or drizzle white chocolate over the top as desired for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F to cook the donuts evenly without absorbing excess oil.
  • If baking, check the donuts with a toothpick to confirm they are fully cooked before removing from the oven.
  • For a vegan version, substitute milk with almond milk, butter with coconut oil, and use a vegan cream alternative.
  • Matcha powder quality affects flavor; use a high-grade matcha for best results.
  • Donuts should be cooled completely before filling to prevent the cream from melting.
