Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Whisk flour, mochiko, sugar, and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, and vanilla until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, sticky batter forms—do not overmix.
Step 5
Transfer batter to a piping bag. Pipe into donut pan cavities until 3/4 full.
Step 6
Bake for 12–14 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Step 7
Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Sift matcha powder and powdered sugar together in a small bowl until no lumps remain.
Step 9
Add 2–3 tablespoons water and whisk until glaze is smooth and pourable.
Step 10
Dip the top of each cooled donut into glaze, twisting gently to coat evenly.
Step 11
Set on parchment and let glaze set for 10 minutes before serving.
