Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 6 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Strawberry or raspberry jelly
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Warm the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until it reaches about 110°F (just lukewarm).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, and the active dry yeast. Stir and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the frothy yeast mixture, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Mix until a sticky dough forms. Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer and dough hook attachment for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 8

Roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Re-roll scraps as needed.

Step 9

Place the dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them lightly, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.

Step 10

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F.

Step 11

Gently fry the doughnuts in small batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 12

Using a small piping bag fitted with a narrow tip, inject each doughnut with about 1-2 teaspoons of jelly through a small hole poked in the side.

Step 13

Dust the doughnuts liberally with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 14

Serve fresh and enjoy the warm, sweet flavors of your homemade sufganiot!
