Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Pour 1/2 cup lukewarm water into a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and add 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand 10 minute.
  2. Spoon flour into mixer bowl or another large bowl. Make a well in center and add remaining sugar, eggs, yolks, margarine, brandy, remaining water, and salt. Mix with mixer dough hook or wooden spoon until ingredients are blended. Add yeast mixture and mix with dough hook at low speed or with spoon until ingredients come together to a dough. Beat at medium speed, scraping down dough occasionally, for 5 minutes; or knead by hand for 5 minutes. If dough is very sticky, add 2 tablespoons flour. Knead 5 to 10 minutes more until very smooth.
  3. Put dough in a clean oiled bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume.
  4. On a floured surface roll out half the dough until 1/4 inch thick, flouring dough occasionally. Using a 2 1/2 to 3-inch cutter, cut the dough in rounds. Put 1/2 teaspoons apricot or strawberry preserves on center of half the rounds. Brush rim of round lightly with water, then set a plain round on top. With floured fingers, press dough firmly all around to seal it. Transfer this sanwich immediately to floured tray. If it has stretched out to an oval, plump it gently back into a round shape. Continue with remaining dough. Cover pastries with a slightly damp cloth and let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes.
  5. Knead the scraps of dough, put them in a n oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let stand for about 30 minutes.
  6. Heat oil to 350F degrees; if a deep-fat thermometer is not available, heat oil until it bubbles gently around a small piece of dough added to it. Add 4 doughnuts or enough to fill pan without crowding. Fry doughnuts about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Pat tops gently with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  7. Make more doughnuts with scraps if you like; they won't be as lights but will still be good.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Don't serve these immediately because the jam is boiling hot.
