Ingredients

• Wheat Flour 20 oz
• Dry yeast 0 oz
• Salt 1 tablespoon
• Buttermilk 5 fl oz
• Chicken Egg 2 pieces
• Sugar 10 oz
• Butter 5 oz
• Vanilla extract ½ spoons
• Ground Cinnamon 0 oz
• Chili jam 20 oz
• Vegetable Oil 1½ l

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Dissolve the yeast in 100 ml of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes. When the yeast begins to foam, add the flour, salt, buttermilk, eggs, 75 grams of sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix the dough in a mixer on low speed. After 1 minute, increase the speed to maximum and knead for another 2 minutes.

Step 2

Grease a large bowl with oil, transfer the dough into it, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours. The dough should double in size.

Step 3

While the dough is rising, mix the remaining sugar with the cinnamon in a bowl. Transfer the jam to a piping bag fitted with a narrow round tip.

Step 4

When the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to a thickness of 1.5 to 2 cm. Cut out twelve circles with a diameter of about 10 cm. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and generously dusted with flour.

Step 5

In a deep saucepan, heat vegetable oil for frying to 355°F. Carefully fry the donuts until they are golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel to drain excess oil. Allow the donuts to cool.

Step 7

When the donuts have cooled enough not to burn your fingers, roll them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Then, carefully make a hole in each donut and fill it with jam until it's about three-quarters full.
