Homemade Donuts with Creamy Custard

This is my easiest and affordable donut recipe incuding the filling. Anyone can make their own homemade donut with just few ingredients and still the taste of a store brought donut can be compare.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups flour (ordinary flour only)
1 tsp dry yeast
2 tsp sugar
¼ cup water (lukewarm)
2 tbsp of vegetable shortening
salt and additional sugar
1 small pack powdered milk (around ¼ cup)
½ can condensed milk
1 egg yolk
vegetable oil for frying
(additional flour for dusting and for filling thickener)

Instruction:

1.Test the yeast first if it still alive. Bloom it in a lukewarm water and dissolve sugar and yeast together. Leave for 5 minutes or you see bubble on top like this.

2.In a clean bowl, combine flour, salt, additional sugar aroun 2 tbsp and stir. Pour the yeast mixture and blend together using a fork or spoon.

3.Once the flour already absorbs all the wet ingredients, use your hand to check if your dough needed to add more water.

4.Spread vegetable shortening unto the dough and massage it. This is a slightly thick dough. Allow to rest the dough for 20 minutes. Knead the dough until smooth.

5.Cover and rest the dough for 1 hour until it has double in size. After one hour knead the dough and divide in half. Make a log and cut using knife.

6.Form the dough round and make a whole by using a small cookie cutter, nozzles or plastic lid caps. Dust with flour and put in a greased surface. Rest again for 45-to 60 minutes.

Creamy Custard Filling:

In a sauce pan combine condensed milk, 1 egg yolk and salt. Let it simmer with continous stirring. Adjust the heat in low setting and add slurry mixture. (1 tbsp of flour dilluted in water)

Frying and Baking Method:

1.I fry donuts with holes with and flip both sides till slightly golden brown. Drain excess oil and coat with powdered milk. I also put creamy custard filling on top.
