Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (10g) matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅓ cup (65g) sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (whole or plant-based)
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Black Sesame Crumble:
  • ¼ cup (35g) black sesame seeds, toasted
  • 3 tablespoons (24g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your donut pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Let cool.
  3. Prepare the crumble: In a food processor, combine toasted sesame seeds, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. Alternatively, rub butter into dry ingredients by hand until crumbly.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: sift together glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl.
  5. Combine wet ingredients: whisk egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth.
  6. Slowly add wet mixture into dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable; avoid overmixing.
  7. Fill donut pan cavities about ¾ full with batter using a piping bag or zip-top bag with corner snipped.
  8. Sprinkle black sesame crumble generously over each donut.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough donuts. Use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother batter. Keep butter cold for the crumble to maintain crispness. Toast sesame seeds fresh for best flavor. If batter is too thick to pipe, add milk one tablespoon at a time. Cool donuts on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. For dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with coconut milk and coconut oil. Gluten-free flour blends can replace all-purpose flour for gluten-sensitive diets.
