Cream-Filled Doughnuts

Cream-Filled Doughnuts

Ingredients:

• For the dough:
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying
• For the cream filling:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For coating:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Dough Preparation:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
   • Add melted butter, egg, salt, and gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
2. Forming Doughnuts:
   • Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a doughnut cutter or large biscuit cutter.
   • Place the cut dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover lightly, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
3. Frying:
   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
   • Fry the doughnuts until golden brown on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Cream Filling:
   • Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
   • Once the doughnuts are cool, use a piping bag fitted with a narrow tip to inject cream into each doughnut.
5. Finishing Touches:
   • Dust the filled doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving.
