How to make Biscoff cream donuts step by step
Step 1 – preparing the yeast
- Crumble the yeast into a bowl, add sugar – mix, pour in milk and stir until a uniform liquid is obtained.15 g yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, 150 ml milk
- Cover the bowl with a cloth or cling film and set aside in a warm place for about 20 minutes – for the yeast to start working, rise and become fluffy.
Step 2 – preparing the donut dough
- Add flour, sugar, and egg yolks to the mixer bowl.300 g all-purpose flour, 3 egg yolks, 30 g sugar
- Pour in the yeast starter and begin kneading the dough.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes – until it becomes elastic.
- Add vodka to the dough.1 tablespoon vodka
- Pour in the melted butter and knead for a few more minutes.30 g butter
- Cover the bowl with the dough with a cloth or cling film and set aside in a warm place for about an hour to rise – the dough should double in volume.
Step 3 – preparing the donuts
- Briefly knead the risen dough again.
- Using a kitchen scale, divide the dough into 9 equal portions – each approximately 60 g.
- Roll the pieces of dough into balls – try not to add flour, so the donuts don’t become hard later.
- Additionally, flatten each ball firmly with your hand.
- Cover the prepared discs with a cloth and set aside for about 30 minutes to puff up.
Step 4 – frying the doughnuts
- Towards the end of the donuts’ proofing, heat the oil well in a larger pot – ideally to a temperature of about 170 degrees.1 liter oil
- Add 3-4 donuts to the hot fat and fry for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
- Carefully flip the donuts to the other side and fry them again for about 2 minutes – you can check with a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut if they are cooked through – the toothpick must be clean, without sticky dough.
- Remove the finished doughnuts onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain them of excess fat.
Step 5 – filling the doughnuts
- Transfer the cookie cream to a bowl.approx 130 g biscoff spread
- Briefly warm it up in the microwave (approx. 30 seconds) – to make it more liquid.

Homemade Biscoff Doughnuts – notes
This Thursday we celebrate Fat Thursday – the sweetest day of the year :) On this occasion, I recommend today delicious homemade doughnuts filled with cookie cream and glazed with icing. Such homemade doughnuts, still slightly warm after frying, sticky from the icing, and soft, are the best thing you can eat on Fat Thursday! If you like making doughnuts at home, then you absolutely must make these with Biscoff cream!
What ingredients are needed to fry doughnuts with cookie cream?
To make homemade doughnuts, you will need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- yeast – fresh yeast is best for doughnuts, but if you don’t have access to it, you can use instant dry yeast – use one packet weighing about 7g.
- aloo-purpose flour – for doughnuts, the best is so-called luxury flour type 550 – but ultimately, type 500 flour can also be used.
- butter – I use extra butter with 82% fat content, and it will be the best here. If for some reason you cannot consume butter, you can ultimately use vegetable oil.
- Biscoff Lotus spread – I used a creamy, smooth cookie spread here. You can easily find this spread online (e.g., on Allegro), but sometimes it can be bought in Dealz stores or larger supermarkets. I also recently bought a cookie spread from Sante at Lidl – it was my first time encountering it, but it might be more readily available than the Biscoff Lotus one.
How to make doughnuts if I don’t have a kitchen scale?
If you don’t have a kitchen scale, you can’t accurately divide the dough into equal portions. You can prepare doughnuts using our grandmothers’ method. Lightly roll out the dough into a thick flatbread – try not to add too much flour, as it can make the doughnuts tough. Cut out dough circles with a large glass and set them aside to rise. Knead, roll out, and cut the remaining dough scraps again. Finally, cover the cut doughnuts with a cloth and leave them for about 30 minutes to puff up.
How to fill doughnuts if I don’t have a piping bag or nozzle?
If you don’t have a special piping bag or a nozzle with a small opening, you can fill the doughnuts using a larger syringe (these can be bought at a pharmacy). Another method is to fill the doughnuts before frying them. In that case, flatten the cut doughnuts firmly and gently stretch them in your hands, place a slightly heaped spoonful of cookie spread in the center of the dough (do not heat it beforehand), and seal the doughnut thoroughly. Place the filled doughnuts on a lightly floured surface, cover with a cloth, and leave for 30 minutes.
Fry the doughnuts in hot oil, and after frying, drain them on a paper towel. After cooling, drizzle the doughnuts with icing.
How to store doughnuts with cookie spread?
Biscoff Doughnuts that are not eaten on the first day should be transferred to an airtight container with a lid. This will help them stay fresh longer. If you want the doughnuts to be nicely soft the next day, I recommend heating them in the microwave. I usually heat them for a maximum of 30 seconds, and they become wonderfully warm and soft – but be careful with the filling – it can get hot!
I hope that Biscoff Lotus spread doughnuts will also make an appearance in your home :) If so, I would be absolutely delighted if you then share your impressions in the comments under the recipe :)
