  • Cooking Time: 20 minutes
  • Difficulty: 3
  • Spiciness: 0
  • Number of Servings: 16

Ingredients

  • 500 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 8 g Butter, unsalted

  • 90 g Sugar, white

  • 8 g Yeast, dry

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 90 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 90 ml Water

  • pieces Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • pieces Marmalade, orange

  • 125 g Powdered sugar

  • 2 spoons Spices, cinnamon, ground

Steps

  1. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the sugar and yeast. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the eggs, milk, and water. Knead into a smooth dough.

  2. Sprinkle the kneaded dough with flour and cover with a cloth or foil. Let it rise in a warm place for about 30 to 40 minutes. When cracks appear on the surface and the dough is very puffy, it has risen enough.

  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and punch it down with your fists. Knead it for another 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.

  4. Divide the dough into about 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly. Fill the donuts with Naturetina apricot jam and place them in a warm spot to rise further.

  5. Heat the oil in a fryer to about 160 degrees Celsius. Fry the donuts for about 5 minutes until they have a golden crust. Drain the fried donuts on paper towels. Sprinkle them with a mixture of sugar (and cinnamon). Enjoy!
