Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup jelly (your favorite flavor)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, and egg, then add it to the dry mixture and knead into a smooth dough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, until doubled in size. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick and cut out donut shapes using cookie cutters.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium heat. Fry the donut shapes until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Cool the donuts slightly, use a piping bag to fill each with jelly, then dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze unfilled donuts for longer storage.
- Any jelly or jam can be used for filling, such as grape, strawberry, or raspberry.
- For gluten-free donuts, substitute all-purpose flour with a suitable gluten-free flour blend.
- Add food coloring to jelly for a vibrant, colorful filling that kids will love.
