Description
Delightful homemade jelly-filled doughnuts, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Jam or jelly for filling (strawberry or raspberry recommended)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually mix in the yeast mixture, eggs, and butter until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Roll risen dough to about ½-inch thick and cut into rounds. Let rise on a floured baking sheet for another 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F.
- Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.
- Fill each doughnut with jam and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. Adjust frying oil temperature carefully to achieve a crispy exterior.
