Boston Cream Doughnuts (makes aprx. 20 doughnuts)

Doughnuts:
Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups warm milk
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 5 cups all-purpose flour (or a bit more)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick or 100 gr) melted butter
• 2 eggs, at room temperature

Directions to make the doughnuts:
Mix the flour with the salt and set aside
Activate the yeast by mixing the yeast, warm milk, and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix well, and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, until the yeast foams up and become frothy
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter
Add the yeast/milk mixture and continue whisking
Gradually add the flour mixture and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon
When the dough begins to form, knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and you can form a ball. Add flour if necessary if it is too sticky
Place it in a greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap
Set it aside for 2 hours in a warm place, until it doubles in size
When it’s ready, place it on a floured surface and knead a few times
Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a 1-cm think rectangle
Form circles using a cookie cutter, and place them on a large flat floured tray (keep a space between each circle)
Cover loosely with a plastic wrap, and allow the dough circles to rest for another hour, until they rise and puff up
Fry the doughnut circle in vegetable oil. Oil should be at least 1-inch deep and at a temperature of 180 C (360 F)
Fry for one minute on each side
Place on paper towels until ready to fill them

Directions to fill and glaze the doughnuts:
When the doughnuts are completely cooled, insert a small butter knife and make a pocket inside the doughnut, without cutting through the edges
Place the custard filling inside a piping bag with a medium round tip
Place the tip in the doughnut hole, and gently press on the piping bag until the doughnut is filled with custard
To glaze the doughnut, hold it between your fingers and dip the top in the chocolate mixture
Custard filling:
Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk
• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ cup corn starch
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
In medium sauce pan, whisk the sugar, corn starch, egg yolks until a smooth paste is formed
Place of medium heat, and slowly add the milk while whisking at the same time
Cook until it comes to a boil and thickens, whisking the whole time
When it come to a boil, add the vanilla and keep whisking for 30 seconds
Remove from heat and transfer into a bowl
Cover the custard with plastic wrap. Plastic wrap should be placed directly on the custard surface to avoid skin formation
