👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a pot, combine milk, oil, and sugar. Heat the mixture while stirring until combined.
- 2
Add flour to the pot and mix vigorously until a thick dough forms a ball.
- 3
Add tapioca starch to the dough and continue to mix until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
- 4
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl.
- 5
Crack one egg into a separate small bowl and whisk it.
- 6
Slowly add the whisked egg to the dough in the mixing bowl while beating with a hand mixer until the dough becomes smooth and forms a pipeable batter.
- 7
Transfer the batter to a piping bag. Pipe the dough onto squares of parchment paper to form donut shapes, typically a ring of connected balls.

Carefully place the piped donuts (with the parchment paper) into hot oil for deep frying. Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on a wire rack.

For the glaze, melt white chocolate in a bowl. Sift matcha powder into the melted white chocolate and mix until smooth and evenly colored.
