Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Raspberry or strawberry jelly
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Let cool until the mixture is lukewarm.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the lukewarm milk mixture to the eggs, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while stirring to form a soft dough.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface.

Step 8

Using a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out dough circles. Re-roll scraps as needed to get more pieces.

Step 9

Place the dough rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let rise again for 30–40 minutes, until puffy.

Step 10

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.

Step 11

Carefully drop 2–3 dough circles at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts and drain on paper towels.

Step 12

Let the doughnuts cool slightly, then use a piping bag fitted with a round tip to fill each doughnut with approximately 1–2 teaspoons of jelly.

Step 13

Dust the filled doughnuts generously with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
