Boston Cream Donuts are a popular American pastry, known for their rich cream filling and chocolate glaze.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until warm and the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
  3. 3Add the warm milk mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. 4Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. 5Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. 6Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out circles using a donut cutter or two round cutters.
  7. 7Place the cut donuts on a floured baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. 8In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  9. 9For the filling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fill a piping bag with the whipped cream and inject it into the center of each donut.
  10. 10Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip the tops of the filled donuts into the melted chocolate to coat.
