Soft & Fluffy Cream Donuts are a classic dessert that consists of a light and airy yeast dough that is deep-fried until golden brown, then filled with a creamy filling. The dough is made with flour, yeast, sugar, eggs, milk, and butter, and is then rolled out and cut into rounds. The rounds are then allowed to rise again before being fried until golden brown. Once they are cooled, a hole is made in the center of each donut, and the creamy filling is piped inside. The creamy filling can be made with a variety of ingredients, such as whipped cream, pastry cream, or custard. These donuts are often topped with a sweet glaze or dusted with powdered sugar. They are a popular treat in many countries and are often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea.

Heat oil on medium to low heat.Til it reaches 180C maintain a low heat and carefully drop each donut without touching them to avoid knocking down any air.Let it fry on low heat till golden.
