Description
Soft, sweet, and nostalgic jelly donuts filled with jam and dusted with powdered sugar, perfect for breakfast or a special treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup jelly or jam (for filling)
- Oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate container, warm the milk and water until lukewarm (about 100–110°F / 38–43°C). Mix the warm liquids with the eggs and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour. After the first rise, roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into rounds.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches, gently turning, until golden brown—about 2–3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove donuts and drain on paper towels.
- Once the donuts are slightly cooled but still warm, inject or spoon the jelly into each donut using a piping bag or a small tip. Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. These donuts are best eaten the same day they’re made.
