Introduction
These bite-sized mini donuts are easy to make using sweet potato and shiratamako (glutinous rice flour), without the need for wheat flour or pancake mix. Enjoy the gentle sweetness of sweet potato, the nutty aroma of black sesame, and a surprisingly crispy exterior with a chewy interior.
Step 1
Cut off both ends of the sweet potato, peel with a vegetable peeler, and slice into 2cm rounds (cut large pieces into half-moons).
Step 2
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a bowl of water and soak for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes, place in a bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave (600W) for 6–7 minutes until they are soft enough to be pierced easily with a skewer.
Step 4
Mash the sweet potatoes while hot using a masher, then add the granulated sugar (3 tablespoons) and mix well until smooth.
Step 5
Add the shiratamako and mix thoroughly, pressing down to crush any remaining lumps of flour.

Important Notes
💡 Since the required amount of milk varies depending on the sweet potato variety and moisture content, start with 3 tablespoons of milk and adjust by adding more little by little while checking the consistency of the dough.
⚠️ If the oil temperature is too high, the surface will burn while the inside remains raw, so fry slowly while maintaining the temperature around 160°C (320°F).
✨ The sugar coating will not adhere well once the donuts have cooled, so be sure to put them in the plastic bag and toss with sugar while they are still hot.
🍳 You can customize the recipe by adding cinnamon powder to the coating sugar or omitting the black sesame seeds from the dough.
