Stuffed Donuts Recipe

 

Ingredients for Donuts

• 1 medium egg
• 50g butter
• 200g milk
• 80g sugar
• 500g flour
• 8g dry baker's yeast (or 12g fresh yeast)
• 1 pinch of salt

Italian Diplomatic Cream

• 300g pastry cream
• 200g liquid cream
• 2 tablespoons icing sugar

Preparation

Using a Stand Mixer:

1. In a bowl, pour the milk and add the baker's yeast with a teaspoon of sugar. Mix and let stand for 10 minutes.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, pour the flour, lightly beaten egg, melted butter, sugar, and the milk and yeast mixture.
3. Knead the dough vigorously for 20 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

By Hand:

1. In a bowl, combine the butter, egg, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
2. Add the milk with the baking powder and flour. Mix well and transfer everything to a lightly floured work surface.
3. Continue kneading with your hands until you get a smooth and elastic dough.
4. Place the dough in a bowl covered with a cloth and let it rise until it doubles in size. (Tip: Leave it in the oven off with the light on.)

Shaping and Frying:

1. After the dough has risen, roll it into a rectangle half a centimeter thick on a lightly floured work surface.
2. Using a cookie cutter, cut out 6 cm discs.
3. Place the donuts on a baking sheet and place a square of baking paper under each donut to help you pick them up without touching them.
4. Once they have risen, dip them in hot oil. Cover the donuts with a cloth and let them rise for another hour.

Preparing the Italian Diplomatic Cream:

1. Mix the pastry cream with the whipped cream and two tablespoons of icing sugar.

Frying the Donuts:

1. Pour the oil into a saucepan with high edges. Once very hot, submerge the donuts (no more than 2 at a time) to prevent the temperature of the oil from dropping.
2. Let them rise and brown for 5 to 6 minutes per donut.
3. To give a sweet touch to these delicious donuts, put the Italian Diplomatic cream into a piping bag and fill the donuts.
