Ingredients for the doughnut dough:
- 600 g Flour
- 50 g Sugar
- 1 Sachet Dry yeast
- 100 g Melted Butter
- 250 ml Milk
- 2 Eggs
Ingredients for Creme Patissiere:
- 6 Egg Yolks
- 80 g Sugar
- 75 g Corn Starch
- 500 ml Milk
Procedure:
- In a mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, dry yeast, melted butter, the eggs and milk and using a hook attachment from a standing mixer, mix until a dough is formed. Mix for about 5 minutes until the dough is pulling away from the sides of the bowl and is smooth and stretchy.
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic foil and let it rest and rise at room temperature until is double in size.
- Next step in our recipe is to make the Crème Patissiere. In a medium size bowl add the egg yolks, to which we add sugar, corn starch and 50 ml milk, then with a whisk mix everything together.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the milk, then pour the egg mixture and whisk constantly until the cream thickens.
- When the cream is thickened, take it off the heat and place plastic wrap directly on top of the custard to avoid the top getting dry.
- Let the custard cool down at room temperature then place in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to set.
- After the dough has doubled in size , place the dough on a floured surface and gently roll out at a thickness between 1-1.5 cm.
- With the help of a circular cookie cutter cut the doughnuts. Let them rise up for 20 minutes then fry them in hot oil in a large pot.
- After frying, roll the doughnuts in custard sugar and place them on a baking tray.
- The last step is cutting the doughnuts in half, but not the whole way through, fill them with the Crème Patisserie and with the help of a spoon, drizzle salty caramel over the doughnuts.
- Serve with family and friends!
- Enjoy!
