AuthorBiteSizedIndulge in the perfect balance of light, fluffy, and chewy with these Fluffy Donuts, a delightful twist on a classic treat. Infused with the subtle richness of tofu, these donuts achieve a soft, pillowy texture with a satisfying chew that sets them apart from the usual deep-fried confections.
This simple yet unique recipe combines cake flour for tenderness and glutinous rice flour for that signature mochi-like bite. Baking powder gives them just the right lift, while a touch of granulated sugar adds sweetness. The star ingredient—silken tofu—not only enhances the texture but also makes these donuts extra moist without the need for eggs or dairy. A splash of water brings everything together, forming a smooth, pliable dough that’s easy to shape.
Once formed and placed on parchment paper, the donuts take a quick dip in hot oil, frying to a gorgeous golden brown. The result? A crisp, delicate exterior that gives way to an irresistibly soft and chewy center.
To elevate these donuts even further, a luscious ube glaze brings a pop of color and subtle sweetness. A mix of powdered sugar, ube powder, and milk (or water) creates a smooth, glossy coating that clings beautifully to each donut, making them as visually stunning as they are delicious.
Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or an indulgent dessert, Fluffy Donuts are a guilt-free pleasure with a unique texture you’ll love. Serve them warm and watch them disappear—these are donuts like no other!
In a large bowl combine cake flour, glutinous flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
