Step 1

Dissolve yeast in warm water with 1 tablespoon sugar in the bottom of the bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until it is foamy, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place milk into the microwave for 1 ½ minutes on high power, then let cool to 105º–115º F.

Step 3

Add milk, remaining ¼ cup sugar, the egg, coconut oil, and salt plus 1 cup of the flour.

Step 4

Beat on low for 30 seconds; scrape the bowl. Then beat 2 minutes on medium speed and scrape the bowl once or twice.

Step 5

On low speed, add the remaining flour. Beat on low for 1 minute until smooth.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise until double, about 1 hour.

Step 7

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to ½ -inch thickness.

Step 8

Cut out circles with a 3-inch cutter and place them on lightly floured baking sheets.

Step 9

Cover and let them rise again until double, about 30 minutes.

Step 10

We recommend using a wide, deep pot. Over medium heat, heat to 350 degrees F. Adjust the heat throughout cooking to maintain a constant 350º F.

Step 11

Carefully slide 4 – 5 donuts into the oil at one time and fry for 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Remove with tongs or a wide slotted spatula to a paper-towel lined cookie sheet, being careful not to puncture the sides of the donuts.

Step 12

Filling can be made as much as a week ahead, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before filling a piping bag which has been fitted with a large plain tip. Alternatively, make the filling while the donuts cool.

Step 13

Cream butter with the shortening, then gradually add the sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Step 14

Add the milk and vanilla and beat until smooth.

Step 15

Use a sharp small knife to pierce each donut on the side into the center, then moving the knife side-to-side to make a cavity in the center.

Step 16

Insert the pastry tip into this hole and fill with about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons filling.

Step 17

Sprinkle tops of the donuts generously with powdered sugar before serving.
