I made it immediately today and it tasted amazing. This donuts is super light, slightly chewy and has a sugary exterior and moist and pillowy interior. You have to use glutinous rice flour in this recipe, else it may not work.

When i tasted this donuts i can taste a similar texture of donuts which we can get in "krispy kreme doughnuts" because of its super light texture.
