Rainbow-Filled Doughnuts
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp active dry yeast
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 tsp salt
- canola oil
Filling:
- 2 ½ cups vanilla pudding
- rainbow food colouring
Glaze:
- 1 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar
- ½ cup whipping cream
- Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Make the doughnuts:
- Place the yeast, warm water and 1 tsp granulated sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Allow this to sit for 10 minutes, until the yeast begins to develop.
- Add the flour, ½ cup sugar, eggs, butter and salt. Set the mixer to medium speed and knead for 8-9 minutes, until the dough is smooth, soft and bounces back when poked with your finger.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Roll the dough out to ¼ inch-thick and cut into 2 ½ inch-wide circles with a cookie cutter. You should be able to get 15-20 doughnuts. Transfer the doughnuts to a lightly floured baking sheet and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Pour about 5 inches of canola oil into a pot and set to medium heat. Attach a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil to 370F. Fry 3 or 4 doughnuts at a time, cooking for 1 minute on each side or until golden.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towel. Cool completely.
Make the glaze:
- Combine the confectioner’s sugar and whipping cream in a bowl. Set aside.
Make the filling:
- Divide the pudding into 6 bowls and dye them the colours of the rainbow. Place the pudding into piping bags fitted with round piping tips.
Assembly:
- Poke holes in each doughnut with the end of a fork. Squirt a dollop of each colour of pudding into each doughnut in the colour of the rainbow.
- Dunk the doughnuts into the glaze, then sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles. Enjoy!
