Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups whole milk for pastry cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar for pastry cream
  • 4 large egg yolks for pastry cream
  • ¼ cup cornstarch for pastry cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for pastry cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for pastry cream
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, eggs, melted butter, and optional lemon zest. Knead until smooth.
  2. Cover the dough with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  3. Prepare the pastry cream by heating whole milk with half the sugar. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with cornstarch and remaining sugar. Combine gradually with hot milk and cook until thickened; stir in vanilla and butter.
  4. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface and cut into circles. Allow them to rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to medium heat (around 350°F). Fry dough circles until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Once cooled slightly, fill each doughnut with pastry cream using a piping bag.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
