Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 0.75 cups warm milk about 110 F
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cups jam or pastry cream for filling
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a warm bowl, dissolve yeast in half of the warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, remaining milk, eggs, and melted butter; mix to form a soft dough.
- Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Roll dough to 0.5 inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a 2 inch cutter; let rise on a floured tray until puffy, about 20 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry dough rounds until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Fill with jam or pastry cream. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Tips: Maintain oil at a steady temperature for light, airy bombs. For a richer dough, substitute a portion of milk with cream.
