Jelly donuts

Directions

• Mix the warm water and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it bubbles.
• Add two egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of oil, and vanilla to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined and set aside. In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, and confectioners’ sugar.
• Use a spatula to mix the dry and liquid mixtures together until it turns into dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1-2 hours.
• Place the dough on a clean countertop dusted heavily with flour. Sprinkle some flour on top of the dough and roll it out.
• Take a circle cookie cutter and cut out circles of dough.
• Add oil into a heavy pot and heat over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F.
• Place 6 pieces in the oil and fry until golden brown. Once they start to puff up, flip them.
• Once both sides are golden, pick them up and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Use a toothpick to puncture the side of each to form a pocket in the center.
• Place the tip of the piping bag into the pocket and squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons of Ma-Mere’s Maison Strawberry Jelly inside.
• Cover the donuts with sugar and they are ready to serve!
