Doughnuts

Ingredients

• 42 g yeast
• 170 ml milk
• 500 g flour
• 2 Eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 40 g sugar
• 60 g Butter
• Salt
• 0.5 vanilla pod (aroma)
• 1 l frying oil
• 300 g apricot jam
• 100 g sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Warm 100 ml milk, crumble the yeast into it and dissolve. Mix with 150 g flour to make a pre-dough, dust with a little flour and let rise covered for 20 minutes. Beat eggs, yolks and sugar with an electric mixer. From the pre-dough, remaining milk, remaining flour and the egg-sugar mixture knead a dough. Knead in butter, a pinch of salt and vanilla aroma. Let rise covered at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2. 2.

   Punch out 20 dough balls with a tablespoon, shape into round spheres and place on a lightly floured cloth. Press slightly flat with your fist and cover with a cloth. Let rise again until the volume has increased by three quarters.

3. 3.

   Heat frying fat to 170 °C and fry the doughnuts in batches for 2 minutes, flip and fry another 2 minutes. The doughnuts are nicely cooked when they have a white ring around the center. Place finished doughnuts on kitchen paper and immediately pipe apricot jam into them with a pastry bag and long tip. Then roll warm doughnuts in sugar.
