- 2½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (120ml) water
Baileys Custard
- 1½ cups (340ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120ml) Baileys Irish Cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla paste
- ⅓ cup (67g) powdered sugar

- 1 tablespoon flour
Chocolate Glaze

Instructions
Doughnuts
- Place the bread flour, sugar, salt, milk powder, yeast, butter, egg, and water into a bread machine and set it on the dough setting.
- Take the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about ½in (1.3cm).
- Cut out 3in (8cm) circles. Place the doughnuts on pieces of parchment paper, cover the doughnuts with plastic wrap, set it somewhere warm and let it rise again until it doubles in size.
- Heat your oil to 356°F (180°C) and fry each doughnut about a minute and a half on each side. Take them out onto a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any extra oil.
- If coating doughnuts with maple or granulated sugar, coat the doughnuts while they're still warm but cooled enough to touch.
Baileys Custard
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk, Baileys, and vanilla paste on medium heat until it reaches a boil. Once it reaches boiling point, take it off the heat.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the sugar until it turns pale yellow. Sift in the cornstarch and flour and whisk until combined.
- While whisking continuously, add the warm milk and Baileys mixture one ladleful at a time. Once you've added all of the milk mixture, pour everything back into the saucepan and heat on medium heat and keep whisking. Cook the custard for 3 minutes after it reaches a boil. Pour the custard through a sieve into a clean bowl, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic is touching the entire surface of the custard so it doesn't form a dry film.
- Refrigerate the custard until cold.
Chocolate Glaze
- In a small bowl, add the chopped dark chocolate and milk and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir together until smooth. Add the honey and Baileys and stir.
Assembly
- Poke a hole in each doughnut using a chopstick or a small pairing knife.
- Put the custard into a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle like a Bismarck tip. Fill each doughnut with as much custard as you like, and dip the tops into the chocolate glaze.
