    Jelly Doughnuts

    I have been feeling quite lazy for the past few days. I had cold, so i was taking my pills. It made me feel dizzy always and i couldn't properly cook. This made me go out of recipes. Usually i will have more than 10 recipes on drafts, but now i have only couple of them.

    That too is a kozhukattai recipe which I made for ganesh chaturthi. I didn't feel like posting them now. So yesterday, i took all my energy and decided to do my long time wanted recipe, a jelly donut and spain churros with chocolate dipping sauce.  Because it is pretty easy to make, I like to make them often.

But this one hit the spot and it is so much better than that. Now i have made clear that this is doing to be my go to donut recipe. I will be making it quite often too.

    Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Resting Time: 1 hour hour
    Total Time: 1 hour hour 30 minutes minutes
    Servings: 20 servings

    Ingredients

    • All Purpose Flour / Maida - 2.5 cups / 300 grams
    • Sugar - 3 tblspn
    • Egg - 1
    • Warm Milk - ¾ cup / 180 ml
    • Yeast - 2 tsp
    • Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp
    • Unsalted Butter - 4 tblspn melted
    • Salt - ¼ tsp
    • Oil for Deep frying
    • Jam or Preserves - 1.5 cups
    • For Cinnamon Sugar :
    • Granulated Sugar - 1 cup powdered
    • Cinnamon Powder - 2 tblspn

    Instructions

    • Start by activating yeast. Take yeast in a bowl, add in 1 tsp of sugar and 3 to 4 tblspn of warm milk. Leave it aside for 5 mins till the yeast is foamy and bubbles up.
    • Now take egg, sugar, vanilla,, milk, salt in a large mixing bowl and beat it well so the sugar is melted.
    • Now add in the foamed yeast mix and mix well.
    • Add in flour and mix well with a spoon and knead it to form a dough. It will be a soft, non sticky dough. Cover the dough with a cling wrap and leave it to rise for 1 hour (In colder region it may take 2 to 3 hours)
    • Once it is doubled in size, punch the air out and transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Roll the dough to 1 ot 2 cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out rounds.
    • Now place the cutouts in a floured tray and cover again and let it rise for 30 to 45 mins. Use the leftover scraps to keep on rolling.
    • Now Heat oil for deep frying, Once the oil is hot, drop the donuts and fry till golden on both sides, it will take just couple of mins.
    • Once fried remove them to a paper towel. Once all the donuts is fried, make cinnamon sugar, mix cinnamon and powdered sugar.
    • Dip the fried donuts in cinnamon sugar and roll them well.
    • Now for filling the donuts, take jam or preserve in a microwave safe bowl to warm it slightly. I microwave it for 20 sec.
    • Now fill a piping bag with the jam. take a donut, make a slit using a knife on the side of the donut. Insert the piping bag and give a good squeeze.
    • You can roll them on cinnamon sugar second time too.
    • Serve warm.

      @AnonymousIt depends on each climatic condition. In cooler place, it takes longer. In hot place it takes less time.
