  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
  • For the milk cream filling:
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk with yeast and a teaspoon of sugar, letting it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients by whisking together flour, remaining sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Combine wet ingredients by adding the softened butter, egg, and activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients; mix until it gathers.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a damp cloth for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form for the filling.
  7. Chill the whipped cream in the refrigerator while the donuts are baking.
  8. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into balls or discs.
  9. Fry the donuts in heated oil at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown.
  10. Fill each donut with the whipped milk cream using a piping bag once slightly cooled.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave or oven for optimal softness.
  • Avoid stacking donuts directly on each other to protect the filling.
