Boston Cream Doughnuts (makes aprx. 20 doughnuts)
Doughnuts:
Ingredients:
• 1 ½ cups warm milk
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 5 cups all-purpose flour (or a bit more)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick or 100 gr) melted butter
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
Directions to make the doughnuts:
- Mix the flour with the salt and set aside
- Activate the yeast by mixing the yeast, warm milk, and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix well, and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, until the yeast foams up and become frothy
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter
- Add the yeast/milk mixture and continue whisking
- Gradually add the flour mixture and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon
- When the dough begins to form, knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and you can form a ball. Add flour if necessary if it is too sticky
- Place it in a greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap
- Set it aside for 2 hours in a warm place, until it doubles in size
- When it’s ready, place it on a floured surface and knead a few times
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a 1-cm think rectangle
- Form circles using a cookie cutter, and place them on a large flat floured tray (keep a space between each circle)
- Cover loosely with a plastic wrap, and allow the dough circles to rest for another hour, until they rise and puff up
- Fry the doughnut circle in vegetable oil. Oil should be at least 1-inch deep and at a temperature of 180 C (360 F)
- Fry for one minute on each side
- Place on paper towels until ready to fill them
Directions to fill and glaze the doughnuts:
- When the doughnuts are completely cooled, insert a small butter knife and make a pocket inside the doughnut, without cutting through the edges
- Place the custard filling inside a piping bag with a medium round tip
- Place the tip in the doughnut hole, and gently press on the piping bag until the doughnut is filled with custard
- To glaze the doughnut, hold it between your fingers and dip the top in the chocolate mixture
Custard filling:
Ingredients:
• 2 cups milk
• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ cup corn starch
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
- In medium sauce pan, whisk the sugar, corn starch, egg yolks until a smooth paste is formed
- Place of medium heat, and slowly add the milk while whisking at the same time
- Cook until it comes to a boil and thickens, whisking the whole time
- When it come to a boil, add the vanilla and keep whisking for 30 seconds
- Remove from heat and transfer into a bowl
- Cover the custard with plastic wrap. Plastic wrap should be placed directly on the custard surface to avoid skin formation
- Place in the fridge if not using immediately
Chocolate glaze:
Ingredients:
• 250 grams semi-sweet chocolate
• ½ cup heavy cream (35%)
• 2 tablespoons butter (¼ stick or 25 grams)
Directions:
- In medium sauce pan, place the 3 ingredients over low-medium heat
- Gently stir until the chocolate melts and become a smooth mixture (do not overcook)

[@justinnicklas4712]

Cute mami lol

[@mosiurbhai]

Can I make it with out piping tip???

[@macdaddy1149]

Yes. You can use a s sandwich bag, ziplock etc. jut cut the tip off and fill the doughnuts. You can use a wooden skewer to make the hole and space inside and that should make it easier to use a bag without a piping tip on it. I’ve find that many times in a pinch.
