Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 2 eggs
- 700 g flour
- 100 g sugar
- 80 g butter, soft
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 cube of yeast
- 250 ml milk
- 1 jar jam (I use strawberry)
- Fat for frying
- sugar or powdered sugar
Instructions
Working time approx. 1 hour; Rest time approx. 1 hour 40 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 40 minutes
makes about 20 pieces
Knead together the eggs, flour, sugar, softened butter, vanilla sugar, and salt. Heat 250ml of milk (to approximately body temperature) and dissolve the yeast in it. Add to the dough, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes. Shape the dough into approximately 20 round dough balls. Make a hollow in each round dough ball and fill with jam, sealing tightly. The jam should be in the center and not sticking out, as it would otherwise run into the fat during frying. Spread the doughnuts on two baking sheets lined with baking paper and let rise for another 10 minutes in a warm place. Meanwhile, melt the frying oil in a tall saucepan. When the oil is hot, reduce the heat to level 7 (I use level 9) and fry the doughnuts. Once the doughnuts are a nice brown color, turn them over. When both sides are brown, remove from the oil and let drain on kitchen paper. I then coat them completely in sugar while they are still hot, but you can also dust them with powdered sugar.
