You can use any flavour of jelly or jam to make this recipe. Serve plain, sugared or frosted.

Ingredients

1 cup warm milk (45 degrees Celsius)

1/3 cup water

1 egg, beaten

3 tablespoons margarine, melted

4 1/2 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast

3/4 cup any flavour fruit jam

How to make it!

Step 1

In a bread machine pan add the milk, water, beaten egg, melted butter, sugar, bread flour, salt, nutmeg, and yeast in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Set machine to the sweet dough cycle.

Step 2

Once the dough cycle is completed, turn the dough out onto a floured board and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness. With a floured cookie cutter, cut into 2 1/2-inch rounds.

Step 4

Place 1/2 teaspoon jam or jelly in center of half of the rounds. Moisten edges with cold water; top with the remaining rounds, pinching edges together firmly. Place the sealed doughnuts on an greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled in a warm place, about 45 minutes.

Step 5

Heat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry one layer of doughnuts at a time. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oil, being careful not to poke doughnuts. Drain onto paper towels and toss with sugar, if desired.

This is one of my favourites for obvious reasons enjoy!
