Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Strawberry jam
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over low heat until warm (not hot), then remove from heat.
Add the vegan butter to the warm almond milk and stir until melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm almond milk mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a donut cutter or a 3-inch round cutter to cut out donut shapes. Reroll scraps as needed.
Place the cut donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to rise again for about 20 minutes.
In a large, deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C). Carefully fry the donuts in batches, cooking each side for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oil and transfer to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
While still warm, roll the donuts in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Using a piping bag fitted with a nozzle, pipe about 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam into each donut.
Serve fresh and enjoy your homemade vegan jam donuts!
