🛒 Ingredients
🍞 For the Dough
• 500g all-purpose flour
• 7g (1 packet) dry active yeast
• 250ml warm milk
• 50g sugar
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 75g unsalted butter (softened)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Oil for deep frying
👩🍳 How to Make Homemade Custard-Filled Doughnuts
1. Activate the yeast
In a small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Prepare the dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add eggs, softened butter, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours or until it doubles in size.
4. Shape the doughnuts
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or glass.
Place them on a tray and let them rest for another 30–45 minutes.
5. Fry the doughnuts
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry doughnuts until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Fill with custard
Once cooled, use a piping bag to fill each doughnut with creamy vanilla custard.

💡 Tips for Perfect Doughnuts
• Make sure the milk is warm, not hot (to activate yeast properly)
• Don’t overheat the oil — medium heat works best
• Let dough rise fully for soft texture
• Fill doughnuts only after they cool completely
🧊 Storage Instructions
• Best eaten fresh on the same day
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days
• Reheat slightly before serving for softness
