Ingredients

  • 30 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 6 g Sugar
  • 12 g Milk, whole
  • 6 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 5 g Butter, unsalted
  • 0.8 g Yeast, active dry
  • 0.5 g Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Makes about 10 doughnuts; multiply all the ingredients by 10 for a full batch.
  2. Warm the milk and dissolve the yeast with a pinch of the sugar in it; leave for about 10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Mix the flour, remaining sugar, egg, softened butter and vanilla with the yeast mixture; knead for 8-10 minutes into a soft, smooth dough.

  6. Once cool enough to handle, fill a piping bag with the jam and inject it into the center of each doughnut through a small hole.
  7. Dust generously with the powdered sugar just before serving.
