Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 105-110°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp dry active yeast
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (500 grams)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • canola oil for frying
  • 10 oz jam
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instruction

  • Pour the warmed milk in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add the sugar and yeast and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add the egg, melted butter and vanilla extract and beat to combine. With the mixer running slowly, add the flour and salt and mix for 5 minutes to work the dough. Turn off the mixer and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator overnight or for 8 hours.
  • Remove dough from the bowl and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out until it is only 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a 3 inch circular cutter.
  • Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with kitchen towels and allow to rest for 20-25 minutes as you prepare the oil.
  • Heat oil to 340°F. Add 2-3 donuts at a time and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and place on a wired cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
  • Fit a pastry bag with a medium tip and fill with jam. Use a toothpick or knife to poke a hole in the side of each donut. Pipe with jam and top with powdered sugar.
