Going on a diet? Wait until you make these donuts first.

For dough:

- Warm milk - 100 g;

- Dry yeast - 1.5 tsp;

- Wheat flour - 260-300 g;

- Salt - 0.5 tsp;

- Sugar - 50 g;

- Chicken eggs - 1 pc;

- Butter - 50 g.

For vanilla custard:

- Milk - 300 g;

- Chicken eggs - 1 pc;

- Corn starch - 20 g;

- Vanilla sugar - 8 g;

- Sugar - 30 g.

For caramel:

- Sugar - 200 g;

- Water - 100 ml.

Method of preparation:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead the dough. It should be soft to the touch. If necessary, add more flour.

2. Transfer it to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

3. Put a small bowl of water in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes. Now you can put the dough in it to rise.

4. Roll out the risen dough (up to 1 cm thick). Cut out donuts. Cover with plastic wrap for 10-15 minutes.

5. Fry in a large amount of oil at 170-180° for 2 minutes on each side.

6. Mix sugar, egg, starch and vanilla sugar in a bowl with a whisk.

7. Heat milk until it is steaming. Pour into the sugar and egg mass and mix. Pour into a saucepan and boil the cream. Cool and cover with cling film so that it touches the cream.

8. Fill the donuts.

9. Mix water and sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium heat to 170-175°.

10. Carefully dip the donuts into the caramel on one side.

P.S.: The longer the donuts stand, the less crispy the caramel will be.
