Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly. Crumble the yeast into the warm milk, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Start mixing to form a dough.
3
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it becomes 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 during frying.
7
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few doughnuts at a time to maintain the oil temperature.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Fill the doughnuts with your favorite jam using a piping bag.
10
Dust the doughnuts generously with powdered sugar for the perfect finish.
11
Serve fresh, allowing the jam filling and the softness of the doughnut to harmonize perfectly.
