Stuffed donuts, also known as filled donuts or bismarcks, are a delicious and indulgent treat that feature a fluffy yeast donut filled with a sweet filling. These donuts can be filled with a variety of fillings, such as jam, custard, chocolate, or fruit compote, and are often dusted with powdered sugar or glazed for added sweetness.
To make stuffed donuts, start by preparing a batch of yeast-raised dough and allowing it to rise until doubled in size. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into rounds using a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter.
Place a small amount of your chosen filling in the center of each round of dough. Be careful not to overfill the donuts, as this can cause them to burst open during frying.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a ball shape. Place the filled donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the filled donuts to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the donuts from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Stuffed donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. They are a delightful treat that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Ingredients
For the mass:
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon dry yeast
3 tablespoons of icing sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 and 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
Ingredients for the stuffing:
2 cups of milk
1 egg
5 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cups of sugar
1/4 cup Little Village margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
1. First, we prepare the dough for the donuts by heating the milk in the microwave, it must be lukewarm. Pour the milk into a large container with the yeast and add the oil and sugar to the container, mix everything well and then add the flour and salt, mix everything until incorporated.
2. A rather liquid dough will form, we use a mixer to knead for about 10 minutes at medium speed. Pour into a greased dish and cover with a damp cloth. We let it leude for about 30 to 60 minutes, it has to double the size.
3. We move the dough to a surface lightly covered with flour and stretch with our hands. Cut circularly with the help of a mold. We heat enough oil and fry the donuts in it. We only need a couple of minutes for the dough to cook.
4. For the filling, we beat the eggs in a medium bowl, add the cornstarch and icing sugar; Mix until smooth. Add the warm milk to the mixture and stir everything until incorporated.
5. We take the mixture to the fire and stir constantly. Once the mixture thickens, remove from heat and continue stirring. Add La Villita margarine and vanilla extract.
6. Fill the donuts with a thin bag and sprinkle with powdered sugar for the final touch.
7. Enjoy!
