Funfetti Mochi Doughnut Holes with Vanilla Bean Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 cups glutinous rice flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Method

1. 01
   In a large bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. 02
   In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
3. 03
   Fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. 04
   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
5. 05
   Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, carefully drop small balls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
6. 06
   Remove the doughnut holes with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7. 07
   For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla bean paste, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
8. 08
   Dip each mochi doughnut hole into the vanilla bean glaze, allowing excess to drip off, then place on a wire rack to set.
