Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Toast the black sesame seeds for 10-20 seconds. Pour sesame seeds into a food processor or spice grinder and pulse until it becomes powder. I would highly recommend using a spice grinder.

In a large bowl, mix together the sweet rice flour, baking powder, and powdered black sesame seeds. Set aside.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla extract, milk, and sugar. Add in the eggs and whisk until combined.
- 5
Sift the dry ingredients from step 3 into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to combine until you get a wet dough.
- 6
Spoon the dough into a pastry bag or ziploc bag. Pipe the dough into the donut pan. I used a donut pan with donut molds that are 3 inches in diameter.

Bake for 7-9 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Once the donuts are out of the oven, cool for 10 minutes on a drying rack.

While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze. Add all the ingredients for the glaze into a small bowl and whisk together.

Dip donuts into the glaze and put them on the cooling rack to dry. It should take about 20 minutes for the glaze to fully dry.
