Doughnuts
- 1 cup Warm Milk
- 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
- 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour, Plus More For Dusting
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Pieces And Softened
- 3 cups Canola Oil, For Frying
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 1/2 cups Preferred Fruit Jam
- 1/2 cups Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- 1/2 cups Confectioners Sugar, For Dusting
- Pour warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle yeast on top and stir until dissolved. Let stand until foam rises, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sugar, salt, vanilla and eggs to the bowl. Whisk until combined well. Use your mixer's dough hook and add flour. Combine well, occasionally scraping down bowl.
- Add the butter, in pieces, and mix until smooth. The dough batter will be sticky.
- Place dough in a well-oiled (sprayed with Pam) bowl. Refrigerate and let rise for 3-4 hours or until doubled in size.
- Line with parchment and lightly flour 2 large baking sheets..
- Dust some flour on a clean surface and roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut into discs. Lay the discs on the lined, floured baking sheets.
- Dust discs with more flour, cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
- On medium high flame, heat oil in a large deep pot. Deep fry thermometer should register between 365- 370u0b0 F. Lower the doughnuts using a large slotted spoon into the oil. Fry in batches, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes, remembering to gently push, roll around and submerge doughnuts in oil. Take out and drain on paper towels.
- Fit a pastry bag with round tip #3. Fill bag with jam or desired filling. Insert the tip into a side of the doughnut. Apply light pressure and fill. Set aside.
- Dust with confectioner's sugar.
- Serve warm.
