Fried Donuts with Custard Filling
Easy no-fail recipe with 1 egg.
Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose flour 1¾ cups + 2 tbsp
- 18 g Sugar 1,5 tbsp
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Egg
- 75 ml Warm milk 1/3 cup
- 1 tbsp Active dry yeast
- 70 g Butter 5 tbsp
- Sugar for coating
- Filling of choice
Instructions
- Add a third of the milk to the active dry yeast to hydrate it.
- In a mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, beaten egg, the rest of the milk, and the yeast.
- Mix everything briefly using the hook attachment if using a machine. You can also knead with your hands.
- Add the soft butter and knead the dough until a nice soft dough ball forms.
- Cover and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Separate the dough into two smaller balls. Roll each half and separate into 4 small squares. Use the trimmings to roll into more squares.
- Use a knife to cut the third of each square into stripes.
- Add the filling of choice. Roll and seal the filling so that it does not spill when frying.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Heat enough oil in the pan and fry them on medium heat.
- Alloy the fried donuts to slightly cool before dredging them on sugar.
- Enjoy.
