Pumpkin Mochi Donut Dough
ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups glutinous sweet rice flour
- 1/2 cup bread flour
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup boiled water
- for deep frying vegetable oil
Cinnamon-Sugar
ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, add the glutinous sweet rice flour, bread flour, sugar, baking powder. Using a wooden spoon/rubber spatula, stir the dry ingredients to mix well.
Step 2
Add pumpkin puree to the flour mixture and stir well to combine. The flour mixture should start to appear crumbly and shaggy.
Step 3
Add the hot water to the flour mixture and continue to stir to combine. It will start to become a dough as you continue to mix.
Step 4
Transfer the dough out of the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes. (You can make the dough a day before and chill in the fridge overnight too!)
Step 5
Once the dough has been chilled for 30 minutes, use a food scale to weigh out dough pieces of 45 grams. Rolls the dough into balls and set aside.
Step 6
Fill a heavy bottomed pot with about 2-3 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 330-350 degrees fahrenheit.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, carefully drop the dough balls into the heated oil and fry for about 8 minutes. Donut holes are done when they are golden brown and start to float to the top of the oil. The internal temperature should be 185-190 degrees fahrenheit. *TIP: I recommend frying about 3-4 dough balls at a time, for even cooking.
Step 8
Drop the fried donut holes into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Enjoy!
