Ingredients

1-1/2 cups milk

2 (1/4 ounce) packages dry active yeast

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup soft butter

3 egg yolks

1 whole egg

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

a splash of Rum or Vodka or can replace the vanilla

1 Tbsp. orange zest, finely grated

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

4-1/2 cups flour

Plum or Cherry jam or your choice of preserves / jam

Note: Make certain the jam that you use does not have chunks of fruit as you will find it is impossible to pipe into the doughnut.

oil (for frying)

confectioners' sugar to sprinkle on top

Directions

Scald milk and allow to cool to lukewarm.

Add yeast and stir.

In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until fluffy.

Add eggs, salt, vanilla, Rum/Vodka, orange zest and nutmeg.

Add flour and yeast-milk mixture gradually, beating well.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Punch down and let rise again.

Roll out dough, on a floured surface, 3/4 inches thick.

Cut out 1-1/2 inch circles.

Options: Either cut into circles and deep fry or top half of a circle with 1 tsp. jam, cover with the remaining circle and seal the edges. I prefer to deep fry circles of dough and after they are done, allow to cool then pipe the jam into the centre of a cooked doughnut.

Heat oil to 375°F.

Fry, turning once, to a medium golden brown.

Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

This recipe can make 24 doughnuts, more or less.
