Ingredients:
- 500 grams of flour
- 5 grams of salt
- 10 grams of yeast
- 100 grams of eggs (about 2 medium eggs)
- 250 milliliters of milk
- 80 grams of sugar
- 80 grams of butter, at room temperature
- 1 can of dulce de leche
- Vegetable oil, as needed for frying
- Begin by mixing the flour, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the milk and eggs to the dry ingredients, starting to mix as you pour. Gradually incorporate the sugar.
- Knead the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Then, add the room-temperature butter and continue kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Allow the dough to ferment in a warm place until it doubles in size. Once it has risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to approximately 1 cm thickness.
- Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles about 7 cm in diameter. Allow these to rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan. Fry the doughnuts until they are golden and puffed up.
- Let the doughnuts cool slightly, then use a piping bag to inject each doughnut with dulce de leche until they are generously filled.
