Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup white chocolate chips, melted
Icing Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a delectable matcha-infused donut base by blending dry ingredients like flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and vibrant matcha powder in one mixing vessel.
- Separately combine liquid components including milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract, ensuring thorough integration of wet elements.
- Gently fold liquid mixture into dry ingredients, stirring delicately to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender donut texture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a donut pan with light greasing to prevent sticking.
- Carefully transfer batter into donut molds, filling each cavity approximately two-thirds full to allow proper rising during baking.
- Bake donuts for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until a test skewer emerges clean and the surface appears lightly golden.
- Allow donuts to rest in the pan for five minutes, then gracefully transfer to a cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.
- Whisk powdered sugar, additional matcha powder, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth, vibrant icing with elegant green undertones.
- Immerse each cooled donut into the matcha glaze, permitting excess icing to elegantly cascade back into the mixing bowl.
- Melt white chocolate chips and artfully drizzle across glazed donuts, creating a festive Saint Patrick’s Day presentation.
Notes
- Use high-quality culinary-grade matcha powder for the most vibrant green color and authentic flavor profile.
- Sift dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumping and ensure smooth, consistent donut texture.
- Allow donuts to cool completely before icing to prevent runny or melting glaze.
- Adjust matcha intensity by increasing or decreasing powder quantity based on personal taste preference.
