Ingredients
- Warm water
- 1 cup
- Active dry yeast
- 2 1/4 teaspoons
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Eggs
- 2, beaten
- Shortening
- 1/4 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 4 cups
- Raspberry jelly
- 1 cup
- Chocolate frosting
- 1 cup
- Pretzel sticks
- 8
- Vegetable oil
- for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (around 110°F or 43°C) and let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the granulated sugar, salt, beaten eggs, shortening, and half of the all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Beat with a mixer or whisk until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the remaining flour until the dough forms a soft ball. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a floured doughnut cutter to cut out doughnuts and holes.
- Place the cut doughnuts on a floured baking sheet and let them rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes. Cover loosely with a cloth.
- In a deep-fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully slide the doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula, frying them on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on a wire rack.
- Using a pastry syringe, inject each doughnut with raspberry jelly until filled.
- Spread a generous layer of chocolate frosting on top of each doughnut.
- Lastly, insert a pretzel stick into the top of each doughnut for a fun finishing touch.
Tips
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider using homemade raspberry jam.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings such as custard or lemon curd.
- If you don’t have a pastry syringe, you can use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off to fill the doughnuts.
