Homemade sugar donuts that’s taste like the bakery shop. These tangzhong donuts with sugar and chocolate melt is super soft and fluffy. They are easy to make at home and can be ready in about 2 hours!
Today, I’m making the classic Asian style sugar donuts using Tangzhong method. I’m a big fan of tangzhong bakery and I personally find that this is the best method to achieve commercial bakery’s standard pastry.
I’m also a big fan of sugar donuts. When I said this I mean if I pass by a bakery shop and see them on the shelf I will grab it! I love how light and soft these donuts texture with sugar coated all over. They are a signature bakery in many Asian bakery shops. Most kids love it and I’m the big KID who is very fond of this old-fashioned but delicious sugar donuts!
If you think this little piece of indulgent dessert is hard to make, you are going to change your mind after you read through my step by step instructions. Also, when you make your own donuts at home, you can rest assured as you know what ingredients are in it. There won’t be any unnecessary chemical that donuts don’t need.
This sugar donuts recipe is great in taste and texture. They are not too heavy or overly sweet even though it is using the deep-fried method. In fact, these donuts are SUPER SOFT, LIGHT AND MOIST. The only thing I want to warm you is you are highly likely to get addicted with them. So if you want to be self-discipline but worry about the temptation, share the love with your friends and family as this recipe can make about 15 donuts.
Not a sugar donuts fan but more on a chocolate side? No worries, I have got the chocolate glazed recipe for ya too! I have make half a dozen of chocolate glazed donuts as I’m sure someone in the house would want to a try the chocolate flavour as well.

What is tangzhong?
At the end of this recipe it says to go to a specific webpage to make tangzhong, so I did that, but it only tells you how to make tangzhong as it refers to that particular recipe. In this donut recipe, a 1/2 cup of tangzhong is needed, so the recipe owner needs to spell out how to make 1/2 cup of tangzhong for this recipe. This recipe is terrible. The recipe is written as if tangzhong can be purchased at the store or something. Tangzhong is a cooking technique, by cooking a portion of the stated ingredients (for example flour and a liquid contained in the recipe) until it gets to a roux state, and then I think adding that into the recipe and continue making the recipe as is. At no point does this recipe state any of that. This is one of the worst written recipes I have seen in a long time.
