Ingredients

Instructions

1. Sift the cake flour and baking powder together a couple of times.
2. Shape the anko into 10 tablespoon-sized balls. Spread 1/2 cup sugar thinly on a plate or baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the softened butter and sugar well.
4. Add the lightly beaten egg to the butter mixture in 3 parts, then add the milk and vanilla and whisk.
5. Add the flour mixture and mix with a wooden spatula or spoon until uniform. If too sticky, rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into 10 pieces and form balls. Flatten each into a 3-inch (7.5 cm) round, thicker in the center and thinner at the edges.
7. Place an anko ball in the center of each dough round and wrap the dough completely around it.
8. Heat the oil to medium-low. Fry the doughnut balls, turning often, until golden brown, taking care not to burn the surface.
9. While still hot, coat the doughnuts in sugar.
