Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk until lukewarm. Crumble the yeast into the milk, add one teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Begin to knead the dough.
3
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to achieve the right consistency.
4
Cover the bowl with a clean 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 (½ inch) thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Let the doughnuts rise for another 30 minutes to ensure they are light and airy when fried.
7
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the sunflower 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 per side, until golden brown. Remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Fill the doughnuts with plum jam using a piping bag.
10
Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar for the perfect finish.
11
Serve fresh to enjoy the perfect harmony of the plum jam filling and the soft doughnut.
