Chapssal Kkwabaegi (Glutinous Rice Twist Donuts)
Warm the milk to 38 to 40°C for the yeast, knead the dough for 8 minutes once the butter is in, and let it rise at 28 to 30°C for 45 minutes, until it is at least 1.8 times its original size. Too much proofing can make this glutinous dough tough. Fry 2 to 3 donuts at a time at 170°C for 3 to 4 minutes, holding that temperature so they do not turn greasy, and toss them in cinnamon sugar while still warm.

About this dish
This yeasted dough uses more glutinous rice flour than bread flour, which gives the inside a stretchy, chewy pull that plain wheat donuts lack.

Rolled in cinnamon sugar straight from the fryer, the donuts melt a little of the sugar with their own heat, leaving a thin crust that follows every turn of the twist.
