Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and kosher salt. Stir well.
  2. Add melted unsalted butter, room temperature egg, vanilla extract, and warm whole milk. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until elastic. Let it rest in a greased bowl for 30-60 minutes.
  4. Punch down the dough, divide into pieces, and shape into 'pon de ring' donuts. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  6. In separate bowls, mix confectioners' sugar with warm milk and flavorings until smooth to prepare glazes.
  7. Dip cooled donuts into glaze, coat evenly, and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles if desired.
  8. Serve fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
