Combine ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the dissolved yeast, eggs and soft butter. Knead until smooth and elastic.
Allow to rise:
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Form the donuts:
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 2 cm. With a pastry cutter, cut out discs and place them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
Fry:
Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 170°C. Fry the donuts a few pieces at a time, turning them to obtain an even browning. Drain them on paper towels.
Filling and decorating:
With a piping bag with a spout, fill the donuts with jam. Sprinkle with icing sugar or roll them in granulated sugar.
Serving and storage tips:
Serve the donuts slightly warm to enhance their softness and fragrant filling.
Store donuts in an airtight container for 1-2 days, but they are best when eaten fresh.
If you want, you can heat them briefly in the oven at a low temperature to restore their softness.
Variants:
Creamy filling: Replace the jam with custard, chocolate or pistachio cream.
Baking: For a lighter version, you can bake the donuts in the oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes.
Lactose-free: Use plant-based milk and lactose-free butter to adapt the recipe for those with intolerances.
FAQ
1. Can I use another type of flour?
Yes, you can use manitoba flour or a mixture of 00 flour and whole wheat flour for a more rustic flavor.
2. Is it possible to prepare the dough in advance?
Certainly! You can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise in the refrigerator and fry it in the morning.
3. What to do if the dough does not rise?
Make sure that the milk is not too hot (it should not exceed 40°C) and that the yeast is active.
4. Can donuts be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze already fried and unstuffed donuts. When you defrost them, heat them in the oven and fill them at the moment.
Enjoy your meal! 😊
