  • 6 tablespoon (grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds, ground (makes ~ 1 ½ teaspoon ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

RHUBARB COMPOTE

  • 1/2 pound /8 ounces forced rhubarb (regular is fine too, it just won’t be pink)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the milk, yeast, sugar, flour, butter, egg, yolk, ground cardamom, and salt. Mix on medium speed for 15 to 20 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and passes the windowpane test. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until doubled in size.

  3. Step 3: Whip heavy cream, mascarpone, egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla until medium-stiff peaks form. Refrigerate.
  4. Step 4: Divide dough, shape into balls, flatten slightly, and let rest. Heat oil.
  5. Step 5: Fry donuts until golden, drain, and coat in sugar. Cool slightly.
  6. Step 6: Fill donuts with rhubarb compote and mascarpone cream using piping bags. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
