Matcha Donuts Recipe

If you're looking for a matcha donut with a subtle matcha flavor, this recipe is for you! I recommend this recipe for anyone who is trying out matcha flavors for the first time, and is worried they'll be hit by the full matcha flavor. You can adjust the amount of matcha for a stronger matcha flavor if you prefer too. I made my donuts a bit on the small side just because I think small donuts are cuter. They're also easier to fry when they're smaller!
Deep fryer: Hamilton Beach

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar

Matcha Glaze

Directions

1. Whisk together sugar, baking powder, salt, 2 cups of flour. Make a wee in the center, add in the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter. Using a spatula mix it together. As it comes together knead it on the table until no wet spots remain, do not over knead this. 
2. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick, using flour as needed to prevent sticking, cut out using cookie cutter, one big circle and a small one for a donut shape
3. Deep fry until golden at 350° 
4. To make the toppings mix everything thing together, for each separate toppings, until no longer lumpy. Sift powdered sugar to ensure it’ll be more smooth. 
5. Dip donuts into toppings while still warm. If they cool completely it won’t stick and you will have to spray pam oil for it to stick
