  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the milk cream filling:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine remaining sugar, flour, salt, and melted butter. Add yeast mixture and vanilla extract; knead until smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface; roll out ½ inch thick. Cut into circles with a donut cutter or glass. Use a smaller cutter to create centers for traditional donuts.
  5. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Whip heavy cream with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fill a piping bag with the cream.
  7. Create a small hole in each donut and inject the milk cream filling. Optionally, dip tops into cream for presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is correct to prevent greasy donuts.
  • Use a piping bag for neat filling.
  • Additional toppings like sprinkles, nuts, or drizzles enhance flavor and presentation.
