 Jelly Doughnut Ingredients:

2 pkgs. Active dry yeast 3.5 cups of sifted all purpose flour 

¼ cup granulated sugar ½ cup warm water 

½ cup milk ½ teaspoon salt 

½ cup butter 2 lg. eggs 

1 lg. jam / Dulce De Leche Vegetable oil 

Powdered sugar 

Dissolve the yeast in warm water (about 1 cup). In a lg. bowl mix together half the amount of flour, with the sugar, yeast, water, milk, and salt. Stir in the butter and the eggs. With an electric beater, mix batter until smooth. Add remaining flour and mix by hand. Cover with a thin towel and let stand for an hour, until doubled in size. Knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes on a lightly floured surface. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then roll it out to ½ inch thickness on a floured surface. Use a round 3 inch diameter cookie cutter to cut out circles. Place a tablespoon of jam / Dulce on every other circle and cover with another circle. Pinch the edges together all the way around. Cover with a thin towel and let rise for an hour, until doubled in size. 

Pour about 2 inches of oil into a heavy skillet and heat until it shimmers. Gently place a few of the doughnuts into the oil and fry, turning once, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. 

- Recipe makes about 18 doughnuts.
