Raspberry Filled Jelly Doughnuts Recipes

RASPBERRY ROSE-FILLED DONUTS

Steps:

• For the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the milk, water, yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and give it a little stir. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy on top.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the flour, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, orange zest and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla and yeast mixture and mix to form a very very stiff dough. It will seem like the dry ingredients aren't all going to get incorporated, but try as best you can. Knead for a few minutes and then with the mixer on, begin gradually adding the butter, tablespoon by tablespoon. This, too, will seem like it isn't going to incorporate into the dough, but keep on mixing for 8 to 10 minutes more, scraping down the dough hook occasionally, until your dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature (or in the fridge, see notes) until it has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface and roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out 2 1/2-inch circles and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment. When re-rolling scraps, first press them together and then allow the dough to sit for about 10 minutes before proceeding. Cover the circles with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let rise for another hour, until doubled.
• In a large heavy pot fitted with a thermometer, heat 3 to 4 inches oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the donuts in batches of 3 or 4, for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the jam and rosewater. Taste and adjust as desired. Fill a squeeze bottle or piping bag with the jam.
• For the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and salt until smooth. It should be the consistency of a slightly thicker glue; if it's too thick, add a little more milk, and if it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and let any excess drip off (if the glaze has a hard time sticking to the donuts, that means it's too thick and that you should add more milk). Stick the squeeze bottle straight down into the center of each donut, wiggle it around to make space and fill up with jam. Top with a sprinkle of pistachios and rose petals and enjoy!

RASPBERRY JAM-FILLED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle yeast over warm water and let stand five minutes or until foamy. In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and one cup of the flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed. Beat in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about five minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about an hour or a bit longer. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into circles. Let rise again until doubled in bulk. Heat 4 cups of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350. Carefully slide doughnuts into hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn the doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Doughnuts are ready when both sides are golden brown. Fill with 1 Tbl.jam or jelly using a pastry injector, or by cutting a small slit in the side of the doughnut and inserting the jelly with a baby spoon. Close tightly, sprinkle with or roll in powdered sugar.

SPICED RASPBERRY JELLY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat milk to a boil. Remove from heat, add sugar and cool to 110 degrees F. Mix together warm milk and yeast and let sit for a few minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Using a wooden spoon, add flour mixture to the milk mixture. Mix in egg yolks, melted butter and lemon zest. Turn mixture out onto a well-floured surface. Knead to form a dough. Place dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Place in a warm, draft-free area and let rise for 1 1/2 hours. Remove dough from bowl and place on a floured surface. Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into 24 circles. Place 12 of the circles on a parchment lined sheet pan. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each circle. Brush beaten egg around the perimeter of each of the 12 circles. Place another circle on top of the raspberry filling and press around the edges to seal. Cover the tray with a towel and let rise another 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free location. In a large, deep pot, heat the oil to 325 degrees F. When the doughnuts have risen, fry them in the oil, a few at a time, turning often until both sides are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• In a saucepan, combine 1 pound raspberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook over low heat until sugar dissolves and raspberries begin to break down. Remove from heat and transfer to a food processor. Puree until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in 1/2-cup whole raspberries. Cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat, whisk in cornstarch mixture. Return to high heat, bringing to a boil, whisking constantly until mixture is thick. Remove from the heat and cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place melted margarine in small bowl. In another small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Stir jelly until smooth. Seal tip of large baster with foil. Remove rubber bulb. Spoon jelly into baster; replace bulb.
• Prepare and bake biscuits according to package directions. Immediately dip each hot biscuit into melted margarine, coating all sides. Roll in sugar mixture, heavily coating all sides of each biscuit. Remove foil from tip of baster. Insert baster in side of each biscuit; squeeze small amount of jelly into center. (Refil baster as needed.) Serve warm or cold.
• Tip: To reheat, wrap loosely in foil; heat at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes or until warm.
