Ingredients
Scale
1 cup glutinous rice flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Rainbow sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully pipe rings of batter into the hot oil, filling the pot about halfway full.
Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain.
While the donuts are cooling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip each donut into the chocolate glaze, letting the excess drip off.
Immediately sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles.
Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pot when frying.
Allow donuts to cool slightly before glazing for best results.
