Gluten-Free Matcha Doughnuts - Three Ways! for #FoodieExtravaganza

Welcome to the Foodie Extravaganza
v. July 2016 = a Doughnut Party

Foodie Extravaganza is where bloggers come together and celebrate food holidays. Did you know there is at least one food assigned to each day of the year to celebrate that food?

Lauren from From Gate to Plate is our host this month. Lauren invited us to "Baked or Fried. Filled or Glazed. Sweet or Savory. Large or Small. Let your imagination for doughnuts roll!"

Posting day is always the first Wednesday of the month. If you are a blogger and you're interested in joining in the fun, visit us at our Facebook Foodie Extravaganza page. You can also visit our past party submissions on our Pinterest Foodie Extravaganza board .

Gluten-Free Matcha Doughnuts - Three Ways!
I have more than a little foodie crush on matcha. Do you? If not, these might do the trick. And a note about my "doughnuts." Ugh. I have a doughnut pan that I love. See...


But we're in the middle of a major remodel which includes my kitchen. So, I have packed and moved things over to the new-to-us house. And the doughnut pan was one of those items. I figured: they sell bars at doughnut shops. Buttermilk maple bars are my favorite. I decided that matcha bars could be sold in a doughnut shop!

Ingredients makes approximately 8 doughnut bars or 15 doughnuts
Doughnuts
  • 1/4 C butter, room temperature + 1/4 C for serving
  • 1/4 C olive oil (or other vegetable oil)
  • 3/4 C organic granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 t pure vanilla extract
  • 2 2/3 C gluten-free flour blend (I used 2 C of a pre-blended flour, 1/3 C sweet rice flour, 1/3 C chestnut flour)
  • 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1 T matcha green tea powder*
  • 1/2 C whole milk
  • 1/2 C coconut milk
  • canola oil for spraying the pan
  • Also needed: doughnut bar pan or doughnut pan*
Matcha Sugar Topping

  • 1/2 C organic granulated sugar
  • 2 t matcha green tea powder

Sweet Matcha Topping

  • 1/2 C organic powdered sugar
  • 2 t matcha green tea powder

Matcha Glaze

  • 1 C organic powdered sugar
  • 2 t matcha green tea powder
  • 2 t cold water



Procedure
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray doughnut pan with canola oil spray.


In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, matcha, milk, and coconut milk. Whisk till incorporated. Gently fold in the flour and baking soda until fully incorporated.


Spoon the batter into the hollows until the batter almost reaches the top of the pan.


Bake for 8 to 10 minutes - or until the doughnuts are golden brown and raised. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the pan over to invert the doughnuts onto a cooling rack. Repeat until all the batter is used.


While doughnuts are cooling, make the toppings, placing the sugars on two different plates. Melt 1/4 C butter in a small skillet and keep warm. Dunk each cooled doughnut in butter, then place - butter-side down - in the sugar mixtures to coat. For the glaze, whisk all the ingredients together to form a smooth glaze. Drizzle the cooled doughnuts with the glaze. Let set before serving.

  8. Does this need to be made with a specific matcha powder?

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an
