Steps:
- Heat the milk until it is warm but not hot, about 90 degrees. In a large bowl, combine it with the yeast. Stir lightly, and let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, beat the eggs, butter, sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Add half of the flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons), and mix until combined, then mix in the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, if the dough is too wet. If you're using an electric mixer, the dough will probably become too thick to beat; when it does, transfer it to a floured surface, and gently knead it until smooth. Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover. Let rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and roll it to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out the doughnuts with a doughnut cutter, concentric cookie cutters or a drinking glass and a shot glass (the larger one should be about 3 inches in diameter), flouring the cutters as you go. Reserve the doughnut holes. If you're making filled doughnuts, don't cut out the middle. Knead any scraps together, being careful not to overwork, and let rest for a few minutes before repeating the process.
- Put the doughnuts on two floured baking sheets so that there is plenty of room between each one. Cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until they are slightly puffed up and delicate, about 45 minutes. If your kitchen isn't warm, heat the oven to 200 at the beginning of this step, then turn off the heat, put the baking sheets in the oven and leave the door ajar.
- About 15 minutes before the doughnuts are done rising, put the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and heat it to 375. Meanwhile, line cooling racks, baking sheets or plates with paper towels.
- Carefully add the doughnuts to the oil, a few at a time. If they're too delicate to pick up with your fingers (they may be this way only if you rose them in the oven), use a metal spatula to pick them up and slide them into the oil. It's O.K. if they deflate a bit; they'll puff back up as they fry. When the bottoms are deep golden, after 45 seconds to a minute, use a slotted spoon to flip; cook until they're deep golden all over. Doughnut holes cook faster. Transfer the doughnuts to the prepared plates or racks, and repeat with the rest of the dough, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the oil at 375. Glaze or fill as follows, and serve as soon as possible.

Steps:
- Put 150g water and all the dough ingredients, apart from the butter, into the bowl of a mixer with a beater paddle. Mix on a medium speed for 8 mins or until the dough starts coming away from the sides and forms a ball. Turn off the mixer and let the dough rest for 1 min.
- Start the mixer up again on a medium speed and slowly add the butter to the dough - about 25g at a time. Once it is all incorporated, mix on high speed for 5 mins until the dough is glossy, smooth and very elastic when pulled.
- Cover the bowl with cling film or a clean tea towel and leave to prove until it has doubled in size. Knock back the dough in the bowl briefly, then re-cover and put in the fridge to chill overnight.
- The next day, take the dough out of the fridge and cut it into 50g pieces (you should get about 20).
- Roll the dough pieces into smooth, tight buns and place them on a floured baking tray, leaving plenty of room between them, as you don't want them to stick together while they prove.
- Cover loosely with cling film and leave for 4 hrs or until doubled in size. Fill your deep-fat fryer or heavy-based saucepan halfway with oil. Heat the oil to 180C.
- When the oil is heated, carefully slide the doughnuts from the tray using a floured pastry scraper. Taking care not to deflate them, put them into the oil. Do 2-3 per batch, depending on the size of your fryer or pan.
- Fry for 2 mins each side until golden brown - they puff up and float, so you may need to gently push them down after about 1 min to help them colour evenly.
- Remove the doughnuts from the fryer and place them on kitchen paper.
- Toss the doughnuts in a bowl of caster sugar while still warm. Repeat the steps until all the doughnuts are fried, but keep checking the oil temperature is correct - if it is too high, they will burn and be raw in the middle; if it is too low, the oil will be absorbed into the doughnuts and they will become greasy. Set aside to cool before filling.
- To fill the doughnuts, make a hole with a small knife in the crease of each one, anywhere around the white line between the fried top and bottom.
- Fill a piping bag with your filling and pipe into the doughnut until nicely swollen - 20-50g is the optimum quantity, depending on the filling; cream will be less, because it is more aerated. After filling, the doughnuts are best eaten straight away, but will keep in an airtight tin.
- FillingsCustard filling: Try out Justin's custard filling and, if you like, add different flavours to the custard as follows...Brown sugar: Replace the caster sugar with half soft dark brown sugar and half light brown sugar. You can add chopped stem ginger to the finished custard, or some hazelnut praline. Finish with half the quantity of cream.Chocolate: Whisk 150g dark (70%) chocolate into the milk. Finish with half the cream.Coffee: Add 4 tbsp of freshly ground strong coffee to the milk.Malt & vanilla: Mix 2 tbsp of powdered malt into the sugar, and 2 tbsp of liquid malt into the milk.Saffron: Add a good pinch of saffron to the milk. Finish with half the quantity of cream.Violet custard: Add 3 tsp of violet extract and 3 tbsp of violet liqueur to the finished custard. Sprinkle sugared violets and crushed Parma Violet sweets over the top of the filled doughnuts.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the water and yeast. Let the yeast sit for 10 minutes or until foamy. Add the flour, sugar, eggs, and salt. Mix on medium speed. Once the dough starts to come together and form a ball (takes about 3-4 minutes), switch to the dough hook and mix for 5-8 minutes. The dough should start to come away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will be very sticky! My dough didn't fully clean the sides of the bowl.
- Turn off the mixer and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Start the mixer again on medium speed and slowly add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time. Once the butter is incorporated mix on medium high speed for 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth, glossy, and elastic when pulled. Again, the dough will be very sticky. If it's excessively sticky you can add a few tablespoons of flour and mix for several more minutes. Do not add too much flour though. This dough is sticky, that's the nature of it.
- Transfer the dough to a large bowl that has been lightly oiled. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let prove for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Once doubled in size, remove the plastic wrap punch down the dough with your fist then re-cover and place the bowl in the fridge to chill overnight.
- The following day remove the bowl from the fridge. Cut the dough into 50 gram sized pieces. Will make about 21 balls (maybe more, maybe less depending on how much flour you added).
- Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper. Generously flour the parchment paper.
- Roll the dough pieces into smooth tight balls and place on the floured baking tray. Leave enough space between each bun so that they have room to prove and expand.
- Cover the baking trays loosely with plastic wrap and let prove for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size.
- Fill a large saucepan halfway with oil and heat the oil to 180°C or between 360°F - 375°F. Use an instant read thermometer to monitor the oils temperature. It's important that the oil stays at the proper temperature while cooking. Too hot and the doughnuts will burn and the insides will be raw. Too cool and the doughnuts will soak up too much of the oil and become greasy.
- When the oil is heated, carefully slide (or transfer) the doughnuts from the tray to the hot oil. I like to use a floured bread scraper. Be careful not to deflate the doughnuts when doing so. Cook 2-4 per batch depending on the size of the pan or fryer you're using.
- Fry for 1-2 mins per side or until golden brown. The doughnuts should float so you may need to gently press them down into the oil so that they color evenly.
- Remove the doughnuts from the hot oil and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
- Toss the warm doughnuts in a bowl of granulated sugar or powdered sugar.
- To fill the doughnuts, fill a piping bag with the desired filling. Pipe the filling, inserting the piping tip into the side crease of each doughnut. Fill each doughnut with 20-50 grams of filling, or 1-2 tablespoons. The doughnuts will swell slightly.
- Once filled, eat immediately. Doughnuts are best enjoyed the day they are made!
- Can store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
