butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories, while water can be used for a lighter dough.

In a bowl, mix the fresh yeast with the lukewarm milk and dissolve it. Add the sugar to activate the yeast and dissolve it well.

Then add the other liquid ingredients: pour in the lukewarm milk, vegetable oil, eggs, grated zest of half an orange, and vanilla. Mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and the Manitoba flour. Gradually add the liquid mixture, kneading until you get a smooth and elastic dough.

First rise: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in volume.

Shape the doughnuts: After the rise, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1 cm thick. Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out discs about 8 cm in diameter.

Arrange the discs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover them, and let them rise for another hour.

Fry the doughnuts: Heat the peanut oil in a deep pan and fry the doughnuts in batches, turning them until golden brown on both sides. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Once they have cooled slightly, fill the doughnuts with pastry cream using a piping bag and dust them with granulated sugar for decoration.
