Dulce de Leche Donuts are soft, fluffy donuts filled or topped with rich, creamy dulce de leche. These indulgent treats are perfect for a sweet breakfast, dessert, or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup dulce de leche (for filling or topping)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick and cut into circles using a donut or cookie cutter.
  6. Place donuts on a parchment-lined tray, cover, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
  7. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts 2–3 at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
  8. Once slightly cooled, fill a piping bag with dulce de leche and pipe into the center of each donut or spread on top. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent for even frying.
  • Dulce de leche can be thinned slightly with milk if too thick to pipe.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
