Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package rapid rise dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
- 3 1/2 cups (1 pound) cake flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Fat for frying, such as canola oil
- 10 ounces raspberry jam
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, scald the milk by heating just until bubbles form around the edge of the pot; the milk should not actually boil. Remove from heat and whisk in butter to melt, allow to cool 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook. Bloom the yeast by sprinkling it over the warm milk and butter. Add the sugar and stir gently to dissolve. Let stand 10 minutes until foam appears, this indicates the yeast is active. Turn mixer on low and add the egg yolks then gradually add the flour. When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium and add the salt. Stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Mix just until the dough is supple and elastic, about 5 minutes. Once smooth, turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. If you have time, let rise in the refrigerator for several hours because chilling will make the dough easier to roll out.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thick and cut with a floured biscuit cutter or water glass, about 3-inches in diameter. Transfer to a greased baking sheet, and allow to rise again for 30 minutes. Heat 3-inches of vegetable oil or shortening to 375 degrees F in an electric fryer or deep saucepan. Slip doughnuts in the hot oil, top-risen side down, and fry doughnuts until golden, about 4 minutes each side. To keep the oil temperature constant, fry 3 at a time. Drain on paper towels. Fit a pastry bag with a small tip and fill with jam. Poke a small hole in the side of the doughnut and pipe the jam inside. Dust heavily with confectioners’ sugar while still slightly warm.

Reviews
Unbelievably AWFUL. These are NOT donuts. These are rolls that I wasted hours makiNg then deep frying. If I could give this a negative star rating, I would. Look elsewhere. I can’t believe I didn’t read the reviews first.
This has got to be one of the worst recipes I have EVER made. This is the third recipe of his I have tried and something is ALWAYS wrong with them. I am not sure how this turned out for some and not for others. And the taste just seemed off. I definitely wasted my ink printing this one out. I KNEW I should of stuck with my grandmotrher’s recipe EVERYONE LOVES them! I just wanted to try something different. What a waste of my time. Oh and I even had them filled with my own homemade strawberry jam , The jam was delicious it was a shame it was wasted on something so horrible.
I’m fairly certain I only used 3 cups flour, not 3.5 (I lost count at some point), and I used bread flour not cake flour (because I didn’t have cake flour) but my donuts turned out beautifully. They were very light and fluffy. I used smuckers jelly on the inside and packets of sweetener on the outside (I didn’t actually check to see if I had all the ingredients necessary), but the donuts still taste delicious. Not Krispy Kreme quality but definitely could be sold in grocery stores. Also, it makes about 10 donuts (not 6). Yay donuts!
These are fantastic!Krispy Kreme has nothing on Tyler’s dounuts!
They weren’t as good as I thought it would be. Very disappointed in the recipe. Krispy Creme are much better. I would like a recipe that is lighter and softer.
