Instructions:

  • Prepare the  Dough:
    • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
    • Add warm milk, warm water, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
    • Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the  dough forms a soft ball.
    • Knead the  dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Shape the  Doughnuts:
    • Punch down the dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface.
    • Roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
    • Use a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out dough circles.
    • Place the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
  • Fry the  Doughnuts:
    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
    • Fry the  doughnuts in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
    • Remove the  doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Fill and Coat the  Doughnuts:
    • Using a  pastry bag fitted with a small round tip, fill the doughnuts with raspberry jam or your favorite jelly.
    • Roll the filled doughnuts in granulated sugar while they are still warm.
