Mexican Hot ChocolateGlazed Sufganiyot (Hanukkah Donuts) with Marshmallow Filling Recipe
- 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- Vegetable oil, for coating the bowl
- 1 (1/4-ounce) packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick), cut into 8 pieces and at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 cup marshmallow creme, such as Kraft Jet-Puffed
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese (2 ounces), at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick), at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 5 tablespoons whole milk
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
- Place 2 1/2 cups of flour, the cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to aerate and combine; set aside.
- Coat a second large bowl with vegetable oil; set aside.
- Place the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a medium bowl.
- Add the water, stir to combine, and let sit until the mixture is foaming, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla and whisk to combine.
- Add this mixture to the reserved flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together and begins to form a ball.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
- Scatter the butter pieces over the dough and knead until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth, shiny, and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add up to 1/4 cup of additional flour as needed if the dough is sticky.
- Form the dough into a ball, place it in the oiled bowl, and turn to coat it in the oil.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Punch down the dough, transfer it to a lightly floured work surface, and roll it out until its about 1/4 inch thick.
- Using a 2-1/2-inch round cutter, stamp out as many dough rounds as possible and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1/4 inch apart.
- Gather the dough scraps into a ball and roll out and cut again.
- Discard any remaining dough scraps.
- Cover the dough rounds loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
- Let rise in a warm place until puffy and about 1/2 inch thick, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling and the glaze.
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl with a rubber spatula until completely smooth and combined.
- Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip; set aside at room temperature.
- Whisk all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside at room temperature.
- Place the oil in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot and set it over medium heat until the temperature reaches 365 degrees F on a candy/fat thermometer.
- Meanwhile, fit a wire rack over a second baking sheet; set aside.
- When the oil is ready, add 4 of the dough rounds and fry until golden brown, flipping halfway through, about 2 minutes total.
- (If air bubbles appear in the donuts, pierce them with the tip of a paring knife.)
- Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon to the rack.
- Add 4 more dough rounds to the oil.
- While these dough rounds are frying, use tongs to pick up a donut from the first batch, dip the bottom into the chocolate glaze, and return the donut to the wire rack glaze-side up.
- Repeat frying and glazing the remaining dough rounds.
- When the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to puncture the side of each to form a pocket in the center.
- Place the tip of the piping bag into the pocket and pipe about 1 heaping teaspoon of marshmallow filling inside.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
