Ingredients
- 125 g milk (approx. 4.5 oz)
- 0.5 cube fresh yeast
- 30 g sugar (approx. 1 oz)
- 250 g flour (approx. 9 oz)
- 2 egg yolks from medium eggs
- 50 g softened butter or margarine (approx. 2 oz)

Zubereitung
- 125 g milk, 0.5 cube fresh yeast, 30 g sugarFirst up, add the milk, crumbled fresh yeast, and sugar to the mixing bowl. Warm the mixture for 2 min. / 37°C (100°F) / speed 2.
- 250 g flour, 2 egg yolks, 50 g softened butter or margarine, 1 pinch saltNext, toss in the egg yolks, softened butter, flour, and a pinch of salt. Knead everything together for 5 minutes on the Dough setting until you get a beautifully smooth and supple dough.
- flourDivide the dough into equal portions, roll them into tight little balls, and place them on a well-floured board. Cover and let them rise in a cozy, warm spot for 30 minutes. Gently press the dough balls down to flatten them just a bit, then let them rest for another 15–20 minutes.
- frying oilWhile they rest, slowly heat your frying oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 160°C (320°F) (and no higher than 170°C (340°F)). Carefully lower the dough into the hot oil in batches, starting with the smooth, pretty side facing down. Fry for 3 minutes with the lid on, then flip them and fry for another 3 minutes uncovered until perfectly golden.
- jam or jelly, powdered sugarCarefully remove the donuts and let them cool. Stir your jam until it's nice and smooth, transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a long, narrow tip, and pipe about 20 g of filling right into the side of each donut. For the ultimate finishing touch, give them a generous dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
