Step 1

Sprinkle in Active Dry Yeast (1 Tbsp) and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Warm the Vegetable Oil (1/4 cup) , Milk (1 1/4 cups) , and Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp) over the stove until just above room temperature (no higher than 100 degrees F or 37 degrees C).

Step 3

In a large bowl mix the Salt (1 tsp) and Egg (1) . Pour the yeast mixture in and mix. Add half of the All-Purpose Flour (4 cups) and mix until smooth. Add the rest of the flour and continue to mix until a ball forms. Cover and leave in a dry place for 1 hour.

Step 4

Start to warm a deep fryer or a dutch oven with Canola Oil (as needed) to 365-370 degrees F (185-188 degrees C). You will want the oil to come up about 3 inches up the side.

Step 5

Sprinkle a clean surface with flour and knead the risen dough for about 3 minutes. Roll the dough out 1/4-inch thick and cut out with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or the mouth of a wide drinking glass. Set on a baking sheet and cover.

Step 6

Let set for about 7-10 minutes before frying. Leave the scraps to roll out again after the first batch is fried. Mix Granulated Sugar (2 cups) and Ground Cinnamon (2 Tbsp) in a small casserole dish and set next to the deep fryer.

Step 7

Submerge the donuts in the heated oil about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil and put them directly into the cinnamon and sugar. Toss around and make sure they are coated before placing them on a cooling rack. Repeat with second half of the dough.

Step 8

Let the donuts cool before stuffing. Whip Cream Cheese (1 cup) , Salted Caramel Sauce (1 cup) , and Marshmallow Creme (1 tub) together until light, fluffy, and smooth.

Step 9

Place in a pastry bag with a filler tip and fill donuts with about 1/4 cup of filling each.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy!
