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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and sugar.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough forms.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once risen, punch the dough down and roll it out to about 1.5 cm thickness on a floured surface.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Step 10
Once cool enough to handle, use a piping bag filled with your choice of low-sodium jam to fill each donut.
Step 11
Lightly dust the donuts with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
