Princess donuts or profiteroles are an Italian delicacy that is popular all over the world. It is made from cooked dough and a wonderful vanilla filling. Since the dough has a neutral taste, you can also prepare princess donuts in a salty version.

The Italians do not complicate things, making them according to their recipe is simple.
