•INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, warmed (about 110°F or 43°C)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for the filling)
Extra powdered sugar for dusting
•INSTRUCTIONS :
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, eggs, and melted butter.
Form Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Shape Doughnuts: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters.
Second Rise: Place the cut doughnuts on a floured tray, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat Oil: In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry Doughnuts: Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown on each side (about 1-2 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fill Doughnuts: Use a piping bag to fill the center of each doughnut with whipped cream.
Dust with Sugar: Dust the filled doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving.
