Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Dairy-free butter
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs, melted dairy-free butter, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 4
While the dough is rising, prepare the dairy-free cream. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix almond milk and cornstarch, whisking continuously until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (making sure it touches the surface to prevent a skin), and refrigerate until needed.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a circular cookie cutter to cut out doughnuts.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the donuts in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Let the donuts cool slightly. Use a piping bag fitted with a sharp, narrow tip to fill each donut with the chilled cream filling. Insert the tip into the side of the donut and gently squeeze until you feel resistance.
Step 8
Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free cream-filled donuts!
