Enjoy your homemade Powdered Sugar Jelly Donuts!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 cups jelly or jam of choice for filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar for dusting
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, softened butter, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can do this by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Shape Donuts: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles. Re-roll scraps as needed.
- Second Rise: Place the cut-out dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise again for about 30-45 minutes or until puffy.
- Frying: In a deep saucepan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Fill and Dust: Using a piping bag fitted with a filling tip, insert jelly into each donut. Roll or dust the donuts with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Oil Temperature: Monitor the oil temperature closely to avoid burning the donuts.
- Filling: Ensure the jelly is smooth; using a seedless variety can make the filling easier.
- Storage: These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
