In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt.

Add the yeast mixture, 1 tbsp melted butter, and 1 egg to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough and cut out circles with a donut cutter; place on parchment-lined baking sheets.

Cover the donuts and let rise again until puffy.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the donuts until golden brown; drain on paper towels.

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tbsp corn flour, and 1 tsp vanilla essence; cook until thickened, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly; fill a piping bag with the custard mixture.

Once donuts are cool, inject custard into each donut using the piping bag.
