Peach Glazed Cream Donuts

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Donut Dough

1. In a small bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms (about 8–10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer).
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).

Step 2: Shape and Fry the Donuts

1. Roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use a donut cutter or two round cutters (one large, one small) to shape the donuts.
2. Cover the donuts with a kitchen towel and let them rise for 20–30 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.

Step 3: Make the Vanilla Cream Filling

1. Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag with a small tip.
2. Once the donuts have cooled, use the tip to inject cream into the center of each donut.

Step 4: Prepare the Peach Glaze

1. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar and peach juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more juice (for thinner glaze) or powdered sugar (for thicker glaze).

Step 5: Assemble the Donuts

1. Dip the top of each donut into the peach glaze, letting the excess drip off.
2. Garnish with fresh peach slices on top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
