📌How to make a Matcha Donut

🍃1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures the matcha is evenly distributed.

🍃2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

🍃3. Make the Batter

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Gently fold until you get a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the donuts dense.

🍃4. Fill the Donut Mould

Lightly grease a donut mould with butter or oil. Pour or pipe the batter into the moulds, filling each cavity about ¾ full.

🍃5. Bake the Donuts

Preheat your oven to 180°C and bake the donuts for around 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely before glazing.

🍃6. Prepare the Matcha Glaze

Mix powdered sugar and sifted matcha powder in a bowl. Gradually add milk and vanilla extract until you get a smooth, pourable glaze.

🍃7. Glaze and Decorate

Dip the top of each cooled donut into the matcha glaze. Add a white chocolate drizzle, chopped pistachios, or a light dusting of matcha while the glaze is still wet.
