Cream-Filled Donuts Recipe
Treat yourself to these fluffy delights that are bursting with creamy goodness! Perfect for a weekend brunch or a sweet snack!
Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup warm milk
– 1/4 cup softened butter
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs
– 1 packet active dry yeast
– A pinch of salt
– Oil for frying
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, active dry yeast, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm milk, add the eggs, and softened butter to the dry mixture.
3. Knead the Dough: Use your hands or a mixer with a dough hook to knead the mixture until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes.
4. Let it Rise: Cover the dough with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and place it in a warm area. Allow it to rise for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Shape and Fry: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter or a glass to cut out circles.
6. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully drop in the donuts and fry them until they turn golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
7. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until thick and creamy.
8. Fill the Donuts: Transfer the cream to a piping bag and inject it into the center of each donut.
9. Finish: While the donuts are still warm, roll them in sugar for a sweet finish. Serve fresh and enjoy!
