Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 2 (1/4 oz) packages dry active yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup soft butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • a splash of rum or vodka or can replace the vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 4-1/2 cups flour
  • note: make certain the jam that you use does not have chunks of fruit as you will find it is impossible to pipe into the doughnut.
  • confectioners' sugar to sprinkle on top

Directions:

  1. Scald milk and allow to cool to lukewarm.
  2. Add yeast and stir.
  3. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, salt, vanilla, Rum/Vodka, orange zest and nutmeg.
  5. Add flour and yeast-milk mixture gradually, beating well.
  6. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down and let rise again.
  8. Roll out dough, on a floured surface, 3/4 inches thick.
  9. Cut out 1-1/2 inch circles.
  10. Options: Either cut into circles and deep fry or top half of a circle with 1 tsp. jam, cover with the remaining circle and seal the edges. I prefer to deep fry circles of dough and after they are done, allow to cool then pipe the jam into the centre of a cooked doughnut.
  11. Heat oil to 375°F.
  12. Fry, turning once, to a medium golden brown.
  13. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
  14. This recipe can make 24 doughnuts, more or less.
