Then cover with cling film and leave to rise in a temperate place (oven turned off just 28 °) for about 1 hour until it triples in volume and lots of bubbles appear on the surface:

After the indicated time, add the rest of the flour, milk and sugar to the leavening.

Operate the machine kneading at low speed then add grated lemon and vanilla peel, then mix the eggs one at a time when they are perfectly absorbed, add the soft butter in small pieces so as to string the dough.

Krapfen dough

At this point, turn the dough over onto a lightly floured work surface. Turn it upside down and form a smooth ball on the surface, with your hands dusted with flour.

How to form the Krapfen

First of all, roll out the dough on a surface dusted with flour with a floured rolling pin to a thickness of at least 1 cm.

Use a pastry bowl or a cookie cutter in the shape of a circle 8 – 10 cm.

Then flour the circle and make as many as possible, one next to the other to avoid wasting dough.

As you make them, place them in a baking tray lined with baking paper, at a distance of 4 – 5 cm

Reassemble the leftover dough scraps, form a ball and let it rest at room temperature wrapped in a film for about 1 hour. This step is used to swell the dough and make it workable again.

Let your donuts rise for about 1 hour and a half in the oven that has just been turned off (28 °) until they have doubled their volume.

Meanwhile, prepare the CUSTARD CREAM

Baked Krapfen:

Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool for 15 minutes, fill with the cream as explained below and sprinkle powdered sugar.

Once leavened, cut the donut into its square of parchment paper, so as not to deform it.

Then fry in a large pan and 5 – 6 cm high, not too deep if you want to show the famous white stripe. Fry in abundant oil, a few pieces at a time. 1 and a half minutes per side.

Finally drain with a slotted spoon on absorbent paper.

Then insert a small 1/2 cm spout and the custard into the pastry bag. Insert the sac a poche into the Krafen forming a hole and fill with cream:
