Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons matcha tea powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup milk plus 2 teaspoons, divided use
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons ginger juice from one 2- to 3-inch piece of ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and generously grease a donut baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, matcha, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup milk, egg, and butter until blended. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until all the dry bits are just incorporated.
- Divide the batter among the donut wells and bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool in pan briefly, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk together remaining 2 teaspoons milk, powdered sugar and ginger juice until smooth. Use additional sugar or milk to achieve desired consistency. Dip cooled donuts top-side down into glaze or drizzle on with a spoon. Let glaze harden a bit before eating.
Notes
- To make the ginger juice, finely grate ginger using a microplane, then press through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice. You can also purchase ginger juice at stores like Whole Foods Market.
