Instructions
Making The Dough
- In a large bowl, add yeast, lukewarm milk, and sugar. Mix until everything is dissolved. Let it rest for 5 minutes till it becomes frothy. Add egg yolk to the mixture and mix using a whisker or spoon. To make sure the egg yolk is mixed well into the mixture, use a hand blender if available.In a separate bowl, add unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and sugar. Mix until everything is combined into small crumbles. Do not overmix as it can make the dough tough. Add the mixture to the yeast mixture and knead using your hands until it forms a dough.Transfer the kneaded dough to a clean surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth, elastic ball. Grease a bowl with some butter or oil and transfer the kneaded dough to it. Cover it with cling wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preparing The Whipped Cream
- In a separate bowl, add salted butter and whisk it until creamy. Add sweet condensed milk to the bowl and mix until everything is combined together. Finally, add vanilla extract and mix again until everything is mixed well. Set aside this mixture until ready to use.
Rolling And Fry The Donuts
- After an hour, take the dough out of the bowl and divide it into small equal portions. Grease a tray with some butter or oil and place the divided dough pieces on it. Using your hands, roll each portion as thin as possible while giving it a round shape.Heat some oil in a frying pan and place the rolled dough pieces one by one in it. Fry the donuts on both sides until golden brown in color. Once done, take them out of the pan and transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Filling And Garnishing
- Take each donut and cut it into half using a knife. Take the simple whipped cream in a tray and fill each donut with this mixture. Finally, garnish them with powdered sugar or strawberry jam to serve.
Notes
- While kneading the dough, make sure not to over knead it as it can make the donut tough.
- Fry the donuts on low to medium flame so that they cook evenly and perfectly.
- For a richer flavor, you can also add some butter or cream cheese in the whipped cream mixture.
- You can also use melted chocolate instead of strawberry jam to garnish the donuts.
- You can store the leftover donuts in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Make sure to place them in a cool and dry place.
