Description

Learn how to make classic Bavarian cream doughnuts at home. This recipe features light, fluffy dough filled with silky smooth Bavarian cream and dusted with powdered sugar. Perfect for a sweet treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cups sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 cups milk
0.25 cups butter
2 large eggs
For Frying and Finishing:
1 cups oil
to taste powdered sugar

Instructions

For the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of instant yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until perfectly blended.
Heat 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan until just warm, then gently mix into the dry ingredients until combined.
Add 2 large eggs to the mixture, stirring to form a soft dough. Knead for 5-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Roll out the risen dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into rounds and let them rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
Frying and Finishing: In a deep pan, heat oil to 350°F. Carefully fry the doughnuts, flipping them until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each side.
Allow the fried doughnuts to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, fill each with Bavarian cream and dust lightly with powdered sugar.

Notes

Enjoy these doughnuts right after filling them.
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container but consume within two days.
