A taste of spring! Easy Homemade Recipe for Chewy White Doughnuts with Cherry Blossom Scent

Japanese confectionery

Friday, March 7, 2026. According to the calendar, we have passed the Keihinetsu (the day when the sun goes down), and the spring weather is becoming more and more pleasant day by day. Today, March 7, is known as “Sauna Day,” but did you know that it is actually also “Firefighters’ Memorial Day”? It is named after the day when the Fire Fighting Organization Law was once enforced. Since the air is dry and fires are likely to occur during this season, we would like to raise awareness of fire prevention around us. Now, while feeling the breath of spring, time to try your hand at making homemade sweets that incorporate the hottest trends is the perfect time to relax and refresh your body and mind. What delicious surprises can you bring from the kitchen today?

A discussion of recent search trends

Trends in early March strongly reflect the aftermath of the Doll’s Festival and the arrival of spring. Searches for traditional event foods such as “hamaguri no osuimono (clam soup)” and “chirashi-zushi (sushi rice with chirashi)” soared, while interest in the total lunar eclipse and digital devices for the new life intermingled. With the coexistence of the “anticipation of a new season” and “traditional Japanese beauty” characteristic of spring, we believe that there is a growing need for “neo-Japanese sweets,” in which traditional Japanese ingredients are enjoyed in the style of modern Western sweets, in the area of homemade sweets.

way of making

Preparation for Adventure: The Magic of White Egg Flour
First, put the shiratama flour and silken tofu in a bowl and knead together vigorously with your fingertips to crush lumps. The first step is to knead the mixture until it becomes melt-in-your-mouth smooth, like the shape of the moon.

The birth of dough: with the fragrance of spring.
Next, add the pancake mix and mix until the flouriness disappears. If you mix chopped pickled cherry blossoms into the batter, the fragrance of spring will waft through the air before baking, and your heart will begin to dance.

[Transformation moment: golden circle].
Finally, the deep-frying step. Roll the dumplings into bite-sized pieces with a spoon and gently place them in oil at a low temperature of 160°C (160°F). The dumplings will slowly take on color and puff up, just like spring fairies dancing in the kitchen.

[Climax: The Brilliance of Perfection
When the surface is golden brown, drain off the oil and sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm. One bite of the cake is sure to bring a smile to your face as the chewy texture and the saltiness of the cherry blossoms fill your mouth.

This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points

Since the water content of tofu varies from person to person, if the batter is too sticky, add a small amount of pancake mix to adjust. Also, the secret to maximizing the chewy texture is to keep the frying at a “low temperature”. The greatest luxury of this recipe is to eat them right after frying!

Thank you for reading to the end. May the smell of spring spreading from your kitchen make your weekend even more special.
