A delightful twist on the classic jelly doughnuts, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the yeast and warm water in a bowl and let it sit until foamy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Mix the yeast mixture with milk, sugar, salt, egg, butter, and half the flour until smooth.
Add the flour gradually to avoid lumps.
Gradually add the remaining flour and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Knead the dough on a floured surface to prevent sticking.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
Place the bowl in a warm spot to help the dough rise.
Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into circles.
Use a floured cutter to prevent sticking.
Let the dough circles rise again until doubled in size.
Cover the dough circles with a clean towel to prevent drying out.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350°F and fry the doughnuts until golden brown on both sides.
Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Fill each doughnut with jelly using a pastry bag.
Use a small nozzle for precise filling.
Roll the filled doughnuts in powdered sugar and serve.
Roll the doughnuts while still warm for better sugar adherence.
