Ingredients
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 10 g active dry yeast
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 400 g all-purpose flour
- 5 g salt
- 2 g ground nutmeg
- 50 g coconut oil
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 200 g fruit jelly or jam of choice
- 1000 ml vegetable oil for frying
- 50 g powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Warm the almond milk to 37-40°C (98.6-104°F) and pour it into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the warm milk and add 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and nutmeg.
Step 4
Add the coconut oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Step 6
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 7
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 8
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1 cm thickness.
Step 9
Use a round cutter to cut out circles of dough. Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
Step 10
Place the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 11
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan to 180°C (350°F).
Step 12
Carefully fry the donuts in batches, about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 13
Fill a piping bag with the fruit jelly. Use a skewer to poke a hole in each donut, and pipe approximately 1-2 tablespoons of jelly into the center.
Step 14
Dust the warm donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
