  • 1/4 cup Sugar Feel free to adjust the quantity to your taste.

  • 1/4 cup Butter (Melted) Coconut oil is a great dairy-free substitute.
For the Cream Filling
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Both homemade and store-bought whisk wonderfully.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk together until smooth.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and instant yeast until well combined.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing continuously with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and place it in a warm spot to rise for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  5. Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down. Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Using a round cutter, cut out circles from the rolled dough and place these onto parchment paper.
  7. In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 170-180°C (340-360°F).
  8. Carefully add the donuts in batches to the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  9. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  10. Once the donuts are cooled slightly, carefully cut each donut in half horizontally and add a bit of condensed milk inside.
  11. Generously pipe or spread whipped cream into each donut half, then dust the tops with powdered sugar.
