Donuts Filled with Dulce de Leche

This is the easiest, fastest and yummiest donut recipe that you will find! I adore to fill my donuts with a generous amount of dulce de leche but you can use other things like chocolate ganache, whipped cream or even your favorite jam flavor!

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 5 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups of milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 4 tbsp of butter, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp of baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon

More ingredients that you’ll need:

  • 1 cup of Dulce de Leche
  • ½ cup of sugar
  • Oil to fry

Instructions:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the sugar, salt and butter. Make sure to get a creamy and even texture.
  • Add the eggs, half of the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder and milk. Stir really well to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Add the second half of the flour. You will get a soft dough.
  • Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and start to roll the dough until it is about ½ inch thick.
  • Use any donut cutter, cookie cutter or anything else round that is in your kitchen and cut some donuts!
  • In a large pot, add the oil and when hot start to fry the donuts. Don’t fry too many at the same just two or three to maintain the oil temperature.
  • When golden, dip them into the sugar while still warm and set aside to cool down.
  • Take a serrated knife and half way of the donut.
  • Fill the donut with dulce de leche and serve to enjoy!
