Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fruit jam of choice
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, activate the yeast by mixing it with warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add softened butter, eggs, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- Once risen, roll out the dough and cut into heart shapes.
- Place a small spoonful of jam in the center of half of the heart shapes, then cover with the remaining hearts, pinching the edges to seal.
- Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the donuts until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use any jam flavor you prefer, such as raspberry, strawberry, or apricot.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough to ensure the donuts fry properly without absorbing too much oil.
