Instructions
With a pastry robot:
- 
the lightly beaten egg, the melted butter, the sugar and the mixture of milk and yeast.
 - 
Beat the dough vigorously for 20 minutes,
 - 
until it becomes soft and elastic
 - 
By hand: In a bowl, combine the butter, egg,
 - 
sugar and a pinch of salt.
 - 
Add milk with baking powder and flour.
 - 
Mix well and transfer everything to a lightly floured work surface.
 - 
Keep kneading with your hands until you get a smooth, elastic dough.
 - 
Put the dough in a bowl covered with a cloth and let rise until it has doubled in volume.
 - 
My advice is to leave it in a turned off oven with the light on.
 - 
After the rising time, roll out the dough into a rectangle
 - 
half a centimeter thick on a lightly floured work surface.
 - 
Using a cookie cutter, cut out 6cm discs.
 - 
Place the donuts on a baking sheet and put a square of baking paper under each donut.
 - 
This will help you pick them up without touching them with your hands
 - 
once they are up, to dip them in the hot oil.
 - 
Cover the donuts with a cloth and let rise another 1 hour.
 - 
Meanwhile, prepare the Italian diplomat cream
 - 
by mixing the pastry cream with the liquid cream whipped with the two tablespoons of icing sugar.
 - 
Pour the oil into a saucepan with high edges and,
 - 
once very hot, plunge the donuts (no more than 2 at a time)
 - 
so as not to lower the temperature of the oil.
 - 
Let rise and brown for 5 to 6 minutes per donut.
 - 
To give a sweet touch to these delicious donuts
 - 
Put the Italian diplomate cream in a piping bag and fill the donuts.
