Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
  • Donuts:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • .
  • Glaze:
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp matcha powder
  • 2 cups icing sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a doughnut pan; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in buttermilk, eggs, butter, and sesame oil. Beat until well blended.
  3. Fill each doughnut cup ¾ full. I like to transfer the batter to a ziploc bag, and snip off the corner. This lets you squeeze the dough right into the pan without it being lumpy. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until doughnuts spring back to the touch. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan.
  4. To make glaze, whisk together milk and matcha powder until smooth. This might take some time, as matcha powder can be quite lumpy. Just get it as smooth as you can. Combine matcha mixture with powdered sugar and beat until smooth, adding a little more icing sugar or water as needed.
  5. Dip each donut in the glaze. Let set for 10 minutes before serving.
