Boston Cream Donuts
Directions
- 1In a bowl, combine 1 large egg, 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp instant dry yeast, and 1 cup of lukewarm fresh milk. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- 2Add 3 cups bread flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- 3Add 3 tbsp of cubed unsalted butter and knead the dough by hand until smooth (or use an electric mixer for about 5 minutes).
- 4Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it proof for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 5Meanwhile, prepare the custard filling by combining 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 cup of fresh milk in a saucepan.
- 6Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thick and smooth.
- 7Turn off the heat and add 1 tbsp of unsalted butter.
- 8Let the custard cool.
- 9Prepare the chocolate glaze by combining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1/3 cup fresh milk in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
- 10Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and roll it out to 1.5cm thick.
- 11Use a 10cm round cutter to cut out the donuts. Place the cut-out pieces on a baking tray, cover, and let them rest for about 20 minutes.
- 12Deep fry the donuts in oil until golden brown. Let them cool completely.
- 13Use a skewer to create a hole in the center of each donut to insert the custard.
- 14Pipe the custard filling into the donuts.
- 15Dip the filled donuts in the chocolate glaze and let them set.
