Description
Delicious homemade donuts filled with strawberry jam, perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup warm water (110–115°F)
- 2 packets (0 oz each) active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup warm whole milk (110–115°F)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 2 large egg whites, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine remaining sugar, warm milk, melted butter, egg yolks, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir well.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Roll dough to 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into rounds with a 2–3 inch cutter. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in small batches for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- While warm, roll donuts in sugar to coat evenly.
- Fill each donut with strawberry jam using a piping bag or spoon. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure the water temperature is just right to activate the yeast.
- You can substitute the strawberry jam with any other flavor you prefer.
- Donuts are best served warm.
