I was planning to post something else today.
But when I checked Instagram this morning, I quickly found out that it’s National Doughnut Day today.
(You can tell I’m not a full-time blogger.)
So I changed my plan.
I got my new KitchenAid out and got busy.
Love this machine.
It makes dough-making so much more fun.
To celebrate National Doughnut Day I made Matcha Doughnuts, filled with Matcha custard cream.
I made extra custard cream for dipping if someone (me for one) wants extra cream.
Last time I (thought I) made doughnuts, my mother-in-law told me that doughnuts have to have a hole, so this time I made sure to make a couple that have a hole.
Loved the green on green.
The custard is creamy and flavorful, yet not too heavy.
Another cute disposable container from a 100-yen shop in Japan.
National Doughnut Day ends in a half hour.
I made it. Barely.
