Ingredients
For the donuts:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the filling:
- 1 cup jam or custard of your choice
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the dough
Begin by mixing the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, melted butter, egg yolks, and milk. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 2: Let the dough rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, until it doubles in size.
Step 3: Roll out the dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass to cut out circles from the dough.
Step 4: Fry the donuts
In a large pot or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F. Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 5: Fill the donuts
Using a piping bag or a small knife, fill each donut with your desired filling. You can use jam, custard, or even chocolate spread.
Step 6: Dust with powdered sugar
Once the donuts are filled, dust them with powdered sugar. You can also add some colored sprinkles for a festive touch.
