MB is learning her way around the kitchen, and I'm trying to support that. So when she came to me saying she wanted to make Berliner donuts - which I had never heard of - I was all for it! We had fun making these together, and they were delicious!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 packet (or 2 1/4 teaspoons) dry yeast
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 3 egg yolks, beaten lightly
- 3 1/2 cups (1 pound) flour
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- Vegetable oil (or other fat) for frying
- Raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar
Directions:
Scald milk in small saucepan. Heat just until bubbles form around the edges - don't let it boil! Remove from heat, whisk in butter until melted. Cool 10 minutes. Add to bowl of standing mixer with dough hook.
Sprinkle yeast over warm milk mixture. Add sugar. Stir gently to dissolve. Let stand 10 minutes until foam appears.
With mixer on low, add egg yolks. Gradually add in the flour.
When the dough starts to come together, increase speed to medium. Add the salt.
Stop mixer as needed to scrape dough off hook.
Mix just until dough is supple and elastic (around 5 minutes).
On lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 2 minutes.
Place dough in greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise 1 hour until double in size.
Roll dough into small balls. Place on greased baking sheet and let rise another 30 minutes.
Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep saucepan. Slip donuts into the hot oil and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Using a pastry bag with a small tip, poke a small hole in the side and pipe jam inside. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
