Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, crumble in the yeast, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If needed, add a little more flour or milk to achieve the right consistency.
4
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Let the doughnuts rise for another 30 minutes to make them even lighter when frying.
7
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few doughnuts at a time to keep the oil temperature stable.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Fill the doughnuts with apricot jam using a piping bag.
10
Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh apricot slices.
11
Serve fresh to enjoy the perfect harmony of the apricot filling and the soft doughnut.
