- 3 large eggs
- 100g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 liter vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 10 minutes.

- Remove from oil and let them drain on paper towels.
- Once cooled, fill each doughnut with pastry cream using a piping bag.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid greasy doughnuts.
- Pastry cream can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.
