Soft, fluffy Italian doughnuts filled with a smooth and refreshing lemon cream made with Paneangeli Lemon Extract.
Ingredients
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ cup warm whole milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
½ teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
Granulated sugar, for coating
2 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
-
1 teaspoon Paneangeli Lemon Extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Combine the warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar. Let stand for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, eggs, yeast mixture, and salt. Knead while gradually adding the softened butter until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
Cover and allow the dough to rise for about 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Roll the dough to about ½-inch thickness and cut into rounds. Place them on a lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil to approximately 350°F (175°C). Fry the bomboloni in batches until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to paper towels, then roll in granulated sugar while still warm.
To prepare the lemon cream, heat the milk in a saucepan until warm. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture. Return everything to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the Paneangeli Lemon Extract and butter. Allow the cream to cool completely.
Transfer the lemon cream to a piping bag. Make a small opening in the side of each bombolone and generously pipe the cream inside.
Serve fresh, with a little lemon zest on top if desired.
