Step by Step Method
Dough
Step 1
In a small saucepan, heat milk over low until temperature is slightly warmer than room temperature
Step 2
Stir in sugar and pour into the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
Step 3
Sprinkle over yeast over warm milk mixture and set aside until foamy bubbles appear on the surface, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in butter, egg, vanilla and salt until smooth.
Step 5
Add in flour and beat on medium high speed until a smooth dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl cleanly and climbs the dough hook, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Form dough into a ball and place in a well-oiled bowl. Cover with a damp dish towel and place in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Step 7
4. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface until 3/4-inch thick. Using a floured 3-inch round cutter, press into dough and twist to release dough from sticking to cutter. Place dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Reroll dough scraps one at a time and repeat. Cover dough rounds with kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Step 8
Prepare a baking sheet lined with a few layers of paper towel.
Step 9
Pour enough oil into a large pot until 3- to 4-inches deep.
Step 10
Set pot with a clip-on thermometer and heat until temperature reaches 350ºF and adjust to maintain 350ºF temperature.
Step 11
Working in batches of 3 or 4, fry doughnuts until golden, about 1 minute per side, for a total of about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer fried doughnuts to prepared baking sheet. Cool.
Filling
Step 12
Combine all filling ingredients in a double boiler. Heat over high while stirring until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Step 13
Place mixture in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours.
Assembly
Step 14
Transfer chilled filling into a piping bag.
Step 15
Poke a hole in the side of one doughnut using the back of a wooden spoon until you reach the centre of the doughnut and pipe filling into doughnut.
Step 16
Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
Step 17
Dust doughnuts with icing sugar before serving.
