Directions
Dough:
- Mix milk with sugar and heat to ~33°C (90°F).
- Add yeast, mix and set aside under cover for 15-20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix the yeast with flour, melted butter and egg.
- Gradually add flour and mix the dough.
- When the ingredients are combined, remove the dough from the bowl and knead for about 5-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle your working surface with flout. Then roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 cm (0.8 inch).
- Cut the doughnuts out of the dough using a glass or a round mould.
- Cover them with a damp cloth and let them rise for an hour or two (they should double their volume).
Filling:
- In a saucepan mix milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract and sugar.
- Stirring continuously, cook over low heat until it reaches 70°C (160°F).
- Add starch and boil for another 3-5 minutes until the mass thickens (remember not to stop stirring).
- Remove from the heat, add the diced chocolate and stir until dissolved.
- Put it in a piping bag and place it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes, so that the mass cools down slightly.
Preparation:
- Fill the medium pot with oil halfway through.
- Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F).
- Fry the doughnuts for about 3-4 minutes by turning them several times (fry up to 3 doughnuts at the same time).
- Place the fried doughnuts on a wire rack and let them cool for 10 minutes.
- Using a knife, make a small hole in the donuts and fill them with chocolate filling.
Glaze:
- Mix egg white, powdered sugar and lemon juice or vanilla extract.
- Mix at low speed using a hand mixer for about 10 minutes.
- Dip the ready doughnuts in the glaze and leave to set.
