Ingredients
For the dough 500g (4 cups) all-purpose flour 7g (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast 250ml (1 cup) lukewarm milk 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar 60g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened 1 large egg 1/2 tsp salt Vegetable oil, for frying
For the filling Your favorite jam (strawberry, raspberry, or apricot work well) Powdered (icing) sugar, for dusting
Method
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, softened butter, egg, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out donut shapes. Place the donuts on a floured baking sheet and cover them with a kitchen towel. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (180°C).
Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, frying them for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a piping bag or a small knife to fill them with your favorite jam.
Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade classic jam donuts! Serve and enjoy!
