- 25g (2 tablespoons) granulated sugar
- 6g (2 teaspoons) instant dry yeast
- 90ml (⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon) warm milk
- 1 large egg
- 35g (2½ tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

- 450ml (1¾ cups) heavy whipping cream
- 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
- Condensed milk, for drizzling
For Frying & Garnish:

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, egg, and melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and yeast.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer).
- First Rise:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the Donuts:
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to ¼ inch thickness.
- Use a round cutter to cut out donut shapes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Second Rise:
- Cover the shaped donuts with a towel and let them rise for 30 minutes until slightly puffed.
- Fry the Donuts:
- Heat vegetable oil to 325°F (163°C) in a deep pan.
- Fry donuts 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer to a wire rack to drain and cool completely.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Whip heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Donuts:
- Slice each donut horizontally, leaving a hinge on one side.
- Drizzle condensed milk inside.
- Pipe or spoon whipped cream into the center.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add vanilla extract or cinnamon to the dough.
- For a fruity twist, add sliced strawberries or bananas inside the donuts.
- For a baked version, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes instead of frying.
- To stabilize whipped cream, mix in 1 teaspoon of bloomed gelatin before whipping
