Ingredients
Units
- 1 cup of warm milk
- 4 cups (460 grams) all-purpose flour
- 21/4 teaspoons or 7 grams of instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 eggs
- oil or butter for frying
- pastry cream, dulce de leche, jelly, jam or Nutella to stuff
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk with sugar, let stand 10 minutes, you should see some bubbles, so you know the yeast is alive.
- In a large bowl with a mixer, beat butter until creamy, add eggs, and beat until well blended. Add the flour and beat on low speed while also incorporating the milk with the yeast. You will get a very soft dough.
- Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour. It should double in size.
- With floured hands, remove dough from the bowl to a well-floured board. Flattened gently with your hands and roll the dough until it is about 8 mm thick.
- Cut with a round cutter. I use one of 6 cm in diameter well-floured. They mustn’t stick.
- Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- In the meantime, heat the oil to 350F or 180C.
- Fry about 4-6 at a time, about 2 minutes per side, until golden, turning with a stick.
- Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Cut a hole with a knife and fill it with pastry cream. For this, it is easiest to place the pastry cream into a pastry bag with a round tip and bury the tip in the middle of Berliner and fill.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
