MOVE OVER DUNKIN DONUTS, WE'RE MAKING HOMEMADE JELLY DOUGHNUTS ROLLED IN SUGAR!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages 1/4 ounce each active dry yeast
  • ½ cup warm water 110° to 115°
  • ½ cup warm 2% milk 110° to 115°
  • cup butter softened
  • 1-1/3 cups sugar divided
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour I used closer to 4c
  • jelly or jam
  • Oil for deep-fat frying

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the milk, butter, 1/3 cup sugar, egg yolks, salt, yeast mixture and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not knead)
  • Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead about 10 times. Divide dough in half.
  • Roll each portion to 1/4-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. round cutter.
  • Place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Roll warm doughnuts in remaining sugar. Use pastry bag and long tip to inject jam. Yield: 16 doughnuts.
