 Directions

TIME TO MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS
Combine the yeast and milk in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat 1/2 cup sugar and butter until fluffy.
Add yeast mixture, vanilla, salt, egg, and yolks and beat until combined.
With the motor running, slowly add flour and beat until dough is smooth, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with plastic and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 1 14" round about 1/2" thick.
Using a 3" ring cutter, cut dough into 20 rounds, gathering up and reusing scraps.
Transfer rounds to lightly greased parchment paper-lined baking sheets, at least 2" apart.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Heat 2" oil in a 6-qt. Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 F.
Working in batches, carefully place the doughnuts in the hot oil and fry, flipping once, until puffed and golden, about 2 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a wire rack on a baking sheet and let cool completely.
Place remaining sugar in a large bowl, and set aside.

MAKE THE STRAWBERRY JELLY FILLING
Crush the strawberries in batches in a large bowl.
In a heavy saucepan, mix together the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice.
Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil.
Boil, stirring often,until the mixture reaches 220 F on a candy thermometer.
Refrigerate until using.

MAKE THE VANILLA CUSTARD
Stir together the milk and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and beaten egg.
Stir together the remaining sugar and corn starch, then stir them into the egg until smooth.
When the milk comes to a boil, drizzle into the bowl in a thin stream while mixing.
Return the mixture to the saucepan, and slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
When the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove it from the heat.
Stir in the butter and vanilla, mixing until the butter is completely blended in.

FINISH THE DOUGHNUTS
Once doughnuts have cooled, fill a piping/pastry bag with the jelly or custard.
Insert the tip into the end of each doughnut and pipe approximately 1 -2 teaspoons filling into them
Dust with the sugar (reserved in a bowl).
Serve the same day and ENJOY!
