• 2 large eggs

‍ Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

1. In a bowl, mix warm milk with sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Add eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.

3. Knead the dough for 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled.

Step 2: Shape & Fry

1. Roll dough to about ½-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a cutter.

2. Place on parchment paper, cover, and let rise for another 30–40 minutes.

3. Heat oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry 2–3 doughnuts at a time, about 1–2 minutes per side.

4. Remove and drain on paper towels. Roll in granulated sugar while warm.

Step 3: Fill

1. Use a piping bag fitted with a round tip to inject your filling into the center of each doughnut.

2. Serve fresh and enjoy!

Tips:

• Chill your fillings slightly for easier piping.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container, unfilled doughnuts freeze well.
