Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups whole milk (for pastry cream)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for pastry cream)
  • 4 large egg yolks (for pastry cream)
  • ¼ cup cornstarch (for pastry cream)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for pastry cream)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and let rise for about an hour.
  3. While dough rises, prepare the pastry cream by heating milk and sugar until warm. Whisk egg yolks and cornstarch together; gradually add the warm milk mixture to temper. Cook until thickened, then stir in vanilla extract and butter.
  4. Roll out risen dough to about ½ inch thickness and cut into circles. Let rest for another 30 minutes.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a pot to around 350°F (175°C). Fry each bombolone for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Once cooled slightly, fill each bombolone with pastry cream using a piping bag.
  7. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
