Cooking steps

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for even blending. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with granulated sugar until well incorporated, then whisk in milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

3
Combine wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Mix until a smooth, sticky batter forms. For extra festivity, gently swirl in pastel food coloring to create a marbled look—perfect for Easter eggs.
-
4
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each mold about 2/3 full. If using, pipe a small amount of strawberry jam in the center of each donut for a hidden surprise. Bake for 16–18 minutes, until the donuts are puffed and lightly golden.

5
Let donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cool, dip each donut in a thin glaze made from confectioners’ sugar and milk. Decorate with pastel food coloring, drawing zigzags and dots to mimic Easter egg shells, and sprinkle with spring flower-shaped sprinkles or edible pearls for a finish that’s both symbolic and Instagram-worthy.
