🍩 Ingredients
Black & Blue Jelly from SandyCreek Farm. Jelly made from fresh blackberry & blueberry juice, no seeds.
Dough:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (7 g) instant yeast
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
100 g unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 1/4 cups warm whole milk
Frying & Coating:
Vegetable oil (for frying; ~3–4” deep in a pot)
1 cup powdered sugar
Filling:
Your favorite SandyCreek Farm jams: Strawberry Rhubarb, Blueberry, Blackberry, etc.
🍴 Directions
1️⃣ Make the Dough
Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix warm milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla, then add to dry ingredients. Knead 8–10 minutes until soft, smooth, and elastic.
2️⃣ First Rise
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about 1–1.5 hours).
3️⃣ Shape Donuts
Roll dough to ~½-inch thickness. Use a round cutter (3–4 inches) to cut rounds. Place on a parchment-lined tray, cover, and let rise 30–45 minutes until puffy.
4️⃣ Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed — just like the picture. Drain briefly on paper towels.
5️⃣ Sugar & Jam
While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar. Using a piping bag or injector, fill each donut with ~1 tbsp of your chosen SandyCreek Farm jam. The jam should be visible when you bite in — just like in the image!
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately for best results. Perfect for brunch, holiday treats, or homemade gifts that will wow everyone.
