With Delicious Filling
These heart-shaped Valentine's beignets are the cutest romantic treat for your loved one. They're soft, spongey, and slightly chewy, loaded with a rich creamy Nutella filling.
These do take some time to make but are still super easy with my step-by-step guide today.

Lukewarm water Caster sugar Active dry yeast Large egg Buttermilk Melted butter Vanilla extract Fine salt All-purpose flour Heavy cream Nutella
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl combine lukewarm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and leave to rest for 10 minutes until the yeast starts foaming.
Next, add beaten egg, buttermilk, melted cooled butter, vanilla extract, salt, and mix well together.
Add in a small portion of the sifted flour while the mixer is running or while you are mixing with your hands. Knead until a smooth surface area is reached.
Transfer the dough to an oiled oven-proof bowl and cover it with plastic or cloth. Leave it inside the cooling oven with the door slightly open for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove the dough from the oven and roll it out on a lightly floured surface till 1/4 inch thick. Use a 2-inch heart cookie cutter to form the beignets.
This recipe works perfectly also without filling, I usually fill up a few beignets to have 2 kinds of beignet flavors.
