Jam Donuts

• (3 ¼ cups all purpose flour
• ¼ cup) caster sugar
• 3 teaspoons dry yeast
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup milk, slightly warmed
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 3 egg yolks
• Canola oil, to deep-fry
• Strawberry jam (or jam of your choosing)
• Icing sugar or vanilla sugar to dust
• Method:

• Step 1: Combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a bowl. Make a well. Mix in milk, butter and egg until dough starts to come together – it may be sticky.
• Step 2: Knead on a well-floured surface until smooth. Place in a greased bowl. Cover. Prove for 1 ½ hours or until dough has doubled in size.
• Step 3: Punch down the dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes or until smooth. Roll out dough until 1cm thick. Rest dough for 2 minutes.
• Step 4: Roll out batter and use a 7cm round cutter to cut out discs. Don’t cut out centres. Place on a tray and set aside for 30 minutes to rise.
• Step 5: Deep-fry for 1 minute each side or until golden and puffed. Place on a plate lined with paper towel.
• Step 6: Spoon the jam into a piping bag fitted with a 5mm nozzle. Push the nozzle into the side of the doughnuts and pipe in the jam. Dust with sugar and serve. *Yields 18 donuts.
