Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Instant yeast
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Low-sodium jam
- 1000 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter and then mix it with warm milk (warm to touch but not hot), beaten eggs, and vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
Once risen, punch the dough down and roll it out to about 1.5 cm thickness on a floured surface.
Using a 7-8 cm round cutter, cut out circles and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Once cool enough to handle, use a piping bag filled with your choice of low-sodium jam to fill each donut.
Lightly dust the donuts with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
