Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fruity jelly (like raspberry or strawberry)
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Warm the milk: Heat the milk until it’s warm to the touch but not boiling.
- Combine ingredients: Gradually add the warm milk, eggs, and melted butter to the dry mixture.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes.
- First rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl and let it rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- Shape donuts: Punch down the dough, roll it out, and cut out circles using a cutter.
- Second rise: Let the shaped donuts rise for another 30 minutes.
- Fry the donuts: Heat oil to 350°F and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fill and dust: Cool slightly before using a piping bag to inject jelly and dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
Make-ahead by preparing the dough a day in advance and refrigerating it. You can also bake the donuts instead of frying them at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
