Ingredients
Scale
- For the Donut Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- For the Milk Cream Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warmed milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or two round cutters.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C) and fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the donuts and let them cool on a wire rack.
- For the filling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Once the donuts are cool, fill them with the milk cream using a piping bag.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the filled donuts before serving.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The dough can be prepared the night before and refrigerated after the first rise. Allow it to come to room temperature before rolling out.
- Storage: Store filled donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Substitutions: For a dairy-free option, use almond milk and coconut cream in the filling.
