How to Make:
- First, mix your dough. When it comes to kneading you can use the dough hook attachment with your electric mixer or it can be done by hand.
- Once it’s mixed, place the dough in a bowl and cover. Keep it in a warm place until it doubles in size. This should take about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
- When it’s ready, punch down the dough. Then, on a well floured surface, roll it out. You want it to be about 1/4 inches in thickness.
- Cut out doughnuts. This can be done with a biscuit cutter, a glass or the band of a mason jar. Whichever you chose, try and use something that is about 3 inches in size.
- Place them on a flat rimmed baking sheet and cover. Again, let them rise in a warm spot until they double in size. This should take anywhere from 30-60 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large pot until it reaches between 350-360 degrees.
- Working in batches, cook doughnuts for just 1-2 minutes on each side. Carefully remove from the oil and let them drain on a plate that is lined with paper towels/napkins.
- Coat each warm doughnut in sugar and let them cool before going to next step.
- When the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, stuff each doughnut with filling. This can be done with a piping bag or by making a small slice in the doughnut.
A few notes:
- Be sure to keep track of your oil temperature! You do not want it too hot. Start frying once the oil temp is between 350-360 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer..stick the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil. If it’s ready, the oil will bubble around the handle.
- These doughnuts are best eaten within a day of making.
- The filling for these is a bit thick. I found that making a hole with a piping tip, then filling with a plastic storage bag (used as a pastry bag) worked best.
