Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup jelly or jam
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine the dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (about 110°F). Do not let it get too hot.
Step 3
Add the warm milk mixture and large egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Step 5
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air and transfer it back to the floured surface.
Step 7
Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles. Re-roll the scraps as needed.
Step 8
Place the dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rest for 30 minutes to puff up slightly.
Step 9
In a deep pot or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F. Carefully fry 2-3 doughnuts at a time for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 10
Once all the doughnuts are fried and slightly cooled, use a small piping bag fitted with a round nozzle to inject each doughnut with jelly or jam.
Step 11
Dust the filled doughnuts generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
