Pastry cream doughnuts

These doughnuts are soft fried, perfect for the Carnival period. They can be filled with vanilla pastry cream, chocolate, jam or eaten simply as they are - they will appeal to everyone! On your shopping list you should buy sugar, icing sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, oil, butter, lemon, yeast and Italian "00 " flour. They look like tasty pancakes: round, puffy and soft. It’s a low-cost, low-difficulty recipe: just make the leavened dough, spice it with lemon, cut out some circles from the dough and fry in hot oil. As a final touch you can sprinkle them with icing sugar. If you prefer you can use some coloured sugar grains - there are no limits to your artistic imagination! Enjoy them at breakfast where they make a perfect contribution to the start of the day, or as a great snack. Lovely with freshly squeezed fruit juice, or simply with a cup of tea.
