Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and yeast. Add warmed milk, beaten eggs, and melted butter. Mix to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
  2. Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Shape into a ball, cover, and rest for 15 minutes.
  3. Punch down the dough, divide into portions, and roll into 1.5 inch balls. Place on a floured tray and let rise for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry dough balls for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Whip cream with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Put filling in a piping bag.
  6. Poke a hole in each cooled doughnut and fill with whipped cream until resistance is felt.
  7. Dust filled doughnuts with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.

Fresh yeast ensures a good rise; allow the doughnuts to cool before filling to avoid melting the cream.
