Boston Cream Donuts: The Ultimate Guide to Making This Classic Treat


  • Author: Maria
  • Total Time: 180 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts

Description

Indulge in these homemade cream-filled donuts, perfectly fried to golden perfection and topped with a rich chocolate glaze. A delightful treat for any occasion!


Ingredients

  • chopped chocolate
  • butter
  • corn syrup
  • milk
  • yeast
  • nutmeg (optional)
  • cinnamon (optional)
  • pastry cream

Instructions

  1. Fry the donuts in hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  2. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  3. Repeat the frying process with the remaining donuts.
  4. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until melted and smooth.
  5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
  6. Once the donuts are completely cooled, use a piping bag fitted with a round tip to fill each donut with the chilled pastry cream.
  7. Dip the tops of the filled donuts into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
  8. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is warm but not too hot, as high temperatures can kill the yeast.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the donut dough.
  • Store any leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
