Chapssal donut

Method

1. 1 Soak the red beans for 8 hours, then cook them until tender for 45 minutes and simmer with half the sugar to form a thick filling.
2. 2 Knead the glutinous rice flour with the wheat flour, warm milk, and baking powder for 10 minutes until a soft, pliable dough is formed.
3. 3 Mixing wheat flour with glutinous rice flour is necessary for the cake to rise; using only glutinous rice flour will result in a dense and chewy cake.
4. 4 Wrap the filling in the dough, then roll it into a ball and flatten it into a disc 2 cm thick.
5. 5 Fry in warm oil at 150 degrees, then gradually increase the temperature to 170 degrees for 8 minutes until the pastry puffs up evenly without cracking.
6. 6 Remove from the water, drain, and then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture while the cookies are still hot.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 58 min

  Replace step 5: spray oil around the glutinous rice cake, fry in an air fryer at 150 degrees for 7 minutes, then increase to 170 degrees for another 6 minutes, flip at the 7th minute so the cake expands evenly without cracking; step 6 remains unchanged.
