The compulsion to try interesting yeasted constructions continues, and the week before last, I made my first attempt at custard-filled doughnuts.
It began Wednesday with making a batch of vanilla custard, and then a batch of chocolate custard. Then, on Thursday, I hand-kneaded from start to finish the dough for the doughnuts. By the time the dough had risen and rested, I divided them up and they puffed up a bit more, albeit a bit more spherical than one might want.
Then I fried 'em up and rolled half in powdered sugar and the other half in a cocoa-sugar mix. I filled a few to start with, just to see how they'd be, and got to sample one of each.
Given how oozy they were, I decided that the remaining ones would be just as good if I'd split them and use the custard as toppings. It was all going to the same place anyway, right?
