an old recipe of my mum, where the jam is not added afterwards

Make a yeast dough from the baking ingredients and let it rise in a cold place. Roll out to about 1/2 cm thick, cut out circles with a (mustard) jar, and place about 1 teaspoon of jam in the center. Brush the edge of a second dough circle with egg white and press firmly onto the jam circle. Let the doughnuts rise in a warm place. Heat the oil in a deep fryer (use a skewer to test this) and place the doughnuts, upside down as they were, in the deep fryer and fry until browned on both sides. Drain in a sieve and immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar.
