• 100 g of melted butter

1. Mix the yolks, butter, yeast, sugar and milk with the flour and let the dough sit in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
2. Mix it and let it sit again until its volume has doubled.
3. Then make about 20 little balls from it, which you should flatten slightly.
4. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them sit for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
5. Heat the oil in a pot and bake the Krapfen on both sides.
6. Take them out and let the excessive oil run off.
7. Mix the apricot jam with rum and use one of these fancy filling tools with a beak to inject the jam into the baked doughnuts.
