1. Make sure to sift the matcha powder and flour together to prevent lumps in the batter.

2. Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and colour.

 

3. Do not overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough and dense doughnuts. Mix the ingredients until just combined.

 

4. To prevent the doughnuts from sticking to the pan, generously grease the doughnut mold with cooking spray or butter.

 

5. Let the doughnuts cool completely before glazing them, to prevent the glaze from melting and sliding off.

 

6. For a smoother glaze, sift the powdered sugar before mixing it with the liquid ingredients.

 

7. To create a marbled effect, dip the doughnuts halfway into the glaze, then twist and turn them before lifting them out.

 

8. Customize the doughnuts by adding other flavours such as vanilla extract, lemon zest, or cocoa powder to the batter.
