Description
Ready in 20 minutes. Rich, thick flavor. High in antioxidant content. Good caffeine fix. Green tea glaze. Not too sweet, not overwhelmed by a tea flavor. Just right. Bake them once and you’ll bake them again.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- ¼ cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
- ¾ teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- ½ cups Half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- ¼ cups Confectioners Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
- ⅛ cups Boiling Water
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk dry ingredients: flour, sugar, matcha green tea powder, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate medium bowl, whisk wet ingredients: egg, butter, half-and-half, and vanilla extract until smooth. Mix wet and dry ingredients together until a batter forms.
Fill a donut pan with the batter, only filling halfway since it will rise when baking in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes if making mini doughnuts or 8–10 minutes if making regular-sized doughnuts. They’re ready if you stick a knife through one and the batter does not stick to the knife when you pull it back out (it is dry). Remove from oven and cool on a rack before adding frosting or glaze.
Make the glaze by whisking sugar, green tea powder and boiling water in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip the top of the doughnuts one by one into the glaze and set on a serving plate. Enjoy!
