Chewy Mochi Donuts With a Crisp Glazed Finish

Mochi donuts have a chew that regular donuts never get, and the ring shape means more glaze per bite. I pipe the batter into rings and fry until the outside sets but the inside stays soft.

This mochi donuts recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results. The donuts are finished with a crisp glaze that adds both sweetness and shine, making them visually appealing and irresistible.
