Ingredients

• For the doughnuts:
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• For the creamy filling:
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough to release the air, then roll it out to a ½-inch thickness on a floured surface.
7. Using a doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out doughnut shapes from the rolled dough.
8. Place the doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
9. In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
10. Carefully drop the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying each side for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
11. Remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
12. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
13. Using a piping bag fitted with a round tip, fill each doughnut with the creamy filling.
14. Serve the crispy and creamy doughnuts immediately and enjoy!
