Serves 1
Directions
- 1Combine flour, salt, sugar, yeast, butter, milk, and vanilla in a bowl.
- 2Mix with a spatula until it’s a dough and then knead it using a mixer or your hands for 5-8 minutes.
- 3Cover the bowl with a piece of clingfilm and let it proof for 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- 4Move the dough to a floured working surface and flatten it to about 1.5/2cm thick.
- 5Cut them into your desired shapes, using an empty pickle jar and a large piping tip for doughnut shapes.
- 6Transfer them onto a lined baking tray and let them rest for 20 minutes.
- 7Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
- 8Bake the doughnuts for 10-15 minutes, until they look golden brown.
- 9Dip them into a bowl of melted butter and then into a bowl of sugar to give it a nice sugary coating.
- 10Leave them to cool completely.
- 11To fill, put your filling in a piping bag with any metal tip.
- 12Cut through the center of the doughnut without piercing the back, wiggling the knife back and forth to make sure there’s space all around.
- 13Pipe in the filling, stopping when you feel the filling push back to ensure you don’t overfill.
