Jam-Filled Doughnuts Recipe

American · Dessert · 45 min total

Soft, pillowy yeast doughnuts filled with sweet jam and dusted with sugar. This classic treat is perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk, warmed (110°F)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup strawberry jam (or any flavor)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, for coating

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in center and add yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Punch down dough and roll out on a floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out rounds with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
5. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry doughnuts in batches, 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
6. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small tip with jam. Insert tip into the side of each doughnut and squeeze about 1 tablespoon jam inside.
7. Roll warm doughnuts in sugar to coat.

Tips

• Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature for even frying.
• Fill doughnuts while still warm for best texture.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
