  • 65 g sugar
  • 500 g wheat flour (Type 405)
  • 60 g soft butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 250 ml milk (for vanilla cream)
  • 50 g sugar (for vanilla cream)
  • 20 g vanilla pudding powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20 g butter (for vanilla cream)
  • 100 g dark chocolate (for glaze)
  • 50 g cream (for glaze)
  • 10 g butter (for glaze)
  • 1 kg plant fat for frying
  • some flour for working

Equipment

  • Deep fryer or large saucepan
  • Stand mixer or wooden spoon
  • Piping bag and tip
  • Baking sheet and parchment paper
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat the milk until lukewarm and dissolve the fresh yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in it; let sit for 10 minutes.
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, egg yolks, whole egg, soft butter, salt, lemon aroma, and vanilla aroma.
  1. Mix in the yeast mixture and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic; cover and let rise for 60 minutes in a warm spot.
  1. Knead the risen dough briefly, divide into 12 pieces, shape into balls, and let rest for 30 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  1. Heat the frying fat to around 170°C (340°F); fry the dough balls in small batches for 5 minutes with the lid on, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes.
  1. Remove and drain the donuts on paper towels; let cool completely.
  1. For the cream, heat the milk in a saucepan, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, and pudding powder in a bowl.
  1. Gradually pour hot milk into egg mixture while stirring; return to saucepan and cook until thickened; stir in vanilla extract and butter.
  1. Transfer the vanilla cream to a piping bag and chill it in the fridge.
  1. Poke a small hole in each donut, fill them with vanilla cream, and dip the tops in melted glaze made with dark chocolate, cream, and butter; allow to set on a wire rack.

Notes

If you're missing an ingredient, you can substitute fresh yeast with 7 g of active dry yeast, and use cornstarch for vanilla pudding powder. Store the donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. For a healthier option, consider baking the donuts instead of frying, or using a gluten-free flour blend. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough enhances the flavor without overpowering it!
