Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg

For the Filling:

• 1 cup raspberry jam or raspberry sauce
• 1 cup whipped cream or pastry cream

For Finishing:

• Powdered sugar
• Oil for frying

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by preparing the dough.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg.

Mix until a soft dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it.

Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1½ hours until doubled in size.

Once risen, roll the dough out to about 1 cm thickness.

Use a round cutter or glass to cut circles.

Place the donuts onto a tray and let them rest for another 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Fry the donuts in batches for about 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Transfer them to paper towels to remove extra oil.

Allow the donuts to cool slightly.

Using a small knife or piping tip, make a hole in the side of each donut.

Fill each donut with raspberry jam and cream using a piping bag.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Texture and Flavor

These donuts are soft and fluffy inside with a lightly crisp golden exterior.

The raspberry filling adds fruity sweetness while the cream creates rich smooth texture.

Every bite combines airy dough with creamy and fruity flavor.

Tips for Best Results

Do not overheat the oil or the donuts may brown too quickly outside.

Allow enough rising time for soft fluffy donuts.

Use thick raspberry jam for easier filling.

Fill the donuts after cooling slightly to keep the cream fresh.

Serving Ideas

Serve fresh with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

They also make beautiful dessert table treats for gatherings and celebrations.

Storage

These donuts are best enjoyed fresh the same day.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator because of the cream filling.
