Step-by-Step Instructions for Raspberry Doughnuts
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of lukewarm whole milk with 2 teaspoons of instant yeast and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until foamy. Then, add 2 large eggs, 3 cups of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the sticky dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Gradually add 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a clean towel.
- Allow the dough to proof in a warm area for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of raspberries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and the juice of 1 lemon. Stir regularly and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until it thickens. Strain the mixture and set aside to cool.
- Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about ½-inch thickness. Cut out doughnuts using a cookie cutter.
- In a deep frying pan, heat neutral oil to 340°F–350°F. Fry the doughnuts for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Toss the cooled doughnuts in superfine sugar and fill each doughnut with the cooled raspberry jam.
