- 1hr 4mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
40 doughnuts
- Serves:
- 40
ingredients
- 2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes dry yeast
- 1⁄4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
- 1 1⁄2 cups lukewarm milk or 1 1/2 cups soymilk
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons shortening or 6 tablespoons margarine
- 5 cups flour
- oil, for deep frying
- 1 (13 1/2 ounce) jar strawberry jelly (or other fruit jelly)
- confectioners' sugar
directions
- Sprinkle yeast over warm water and let stand five minutes or until foamy.
- In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and two cups flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed.
- Beat in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about five minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about an hour or a bit longer.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into circles. Let rise again until doubled in bulk.
- Heat 4 cups of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350. Carefully slide doughnuts into hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn the doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Doughnuts are ready when both sides are golden brown.
- Fill with 1 T jelly using a pastry injector, or by cutting a small slit in the side of the doughnut and inserting the jelly with a baby spoon. Close tightly; roll in confectioners' sugar.

I am a full-time graduate student and I also work full-time, which means that I am not likely to make labor-intensive, time-consuming recipes very often! I also struggle with anorexia, and so most of the recipes I create or try are low-calorie and fat-free. I do love to bake, though, and I'm able to do that for others right now, which is nice.
I also keep kosher; that, combined with the fact that I don't really eat meat or cheese, means that most of my recipes (or recipes that I try) are non-dairy and vegetarian, or can be easily adapted to suit that.
Kitchen gadgets are a horrible weakness of mine ... it is just so much fun to try out crazy new products that sometimes I can't help myself! Limited kitchen storage space has managed to sort of curtail that little habit.
