How to Make Vanilla Cream Filling For Doughnuts

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of scalded milk (heated until just below boiling) to the dry ingredients, ensuring no lumps form. Whisk constantly while pouring.
  3. Pour the mixture into a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency (about 15 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks lightly. Gradually pour the warm custard mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  7. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and thickened before using as a doughnut filling.
