Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Donuts:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)

3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

For the Matcha Cream Filling:

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.

Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until it forms a dough. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters (one large and one small) to cut out donut shapes. Place the cut donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Heat 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, or until golden brown.

Remove donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

While the donuts are cooling, prepare the matcha cream filling. In a bowl, whisk the heavy cream and matcha powder until smooth and creamy.

Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the matcha mixture, whisking until the cream thickens slightly.

Once the donuts have cooled, use a piping bag to fill each donut with the matcha cream.

Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy matcha-filled donuts!
