The traditional doughnut and the reassuring tastes of milk tea come together delightfully in Milk Tea Donuts. Tea lovers will love these donuts because they are infused with black tea leaves and come with a sweet tea glaze.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp ground black tea leaves from 2 tea bags. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup milk. 1/4 cup brewed strong black tea, cooled. Oil for frying. 1 cup powdered sugar. 2 tbsp milk. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Crushed tea leaves from 2 tea bags for garnish.
Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground black tea leaves. In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and brewed black tea. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a dough forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or a glass and a smaller round cutter for the holes. Heat oil to 350F 175C in a deep pan. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Dip each donut into the glaze, letting excess drip off, and place on a wire rack. Sprinkle crushed tea leaves on top of the glaze for garnish. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Milk Tea Donuts!
