Let's make donuts together for the first time!

This is an enriched dough donut recipe, which means that it uses butter, milk and eggs. It is a raised dough, which means that we use yeast. It makes a great tasting Boston Cream donut and the filling is absolutely delicious! Be careful because they are addicting! I couldn't stop after eating just one.

I've never made donuts before and while they were a bit thin and not exactly round, it was really easy! You'll definitely want to try these out!

Donut Recipe:
Ingredients:
6 ounces (3/4 cup) milk, about 100 to 115 degrees. It is important to measure the temperature
2 ounces (1/4 cup) water, same temperature as milk. (Put the liquid together when you warm it up)
1 large egg
42 grams (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, room temperature
420 grams (3 1/2 cups) all purpose flour
50 grams (1/4 cup) sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp fast rise/instant yeast
Neutral oil for frying- Canola, vegetable, peanut, sunflower etc. - depending on the pot you use will determine the amount. You want at least 2 to 3 inches deep of oil

Ingredients for Cream filling:
2 egg yolks
67 grams (1/3 cup) sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
360 ml (1 1/2 cups) milk
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Ingredients for glaze icing:
1/3 - 1/2 cup vanilla candy melts (you could use white chocolate chips but then you'll get that flavor)
2 tbsp milk

Ingredients for Chocolate icing:
1 tbsp cocoa powder
4 tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
pinch of salt
2 tbsp milk
* if you want a thicker glaze you can always just melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips with 1 tbsp of milk*

This recipe makes approximately 13 boston cream, 8 regular shaped and 8 donut holes. If you do make your dough 1/2 inch thick, expect to get less than that. There was a lot of glaze left, but I used all the chocolate glaze. Thicker dough will also result in a longer frying time needed. start with 1 minute, you want a nice golden brown before you flip/take it out of the oil.
