INGREDIENTS
1 packet dry active yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
3 tbsp sugar
1 cup warm water
1 1/2 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cognac
zest of 1 lemon
2 cups of strawberry jelly
Nutella
PREPARATION
1. In a gallon-sized plastic bag, add the yeast, warm water, sugar, brandy, lemon zest, oil, egg and flour.
2. Zip bag and mix ingredients well.
3. Place bag in a bowl of very warm water for 1 hour.
4. Remove dough from bag onto a floured surface. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch (1 cm) thickness. Make sure both sides of the dough are floured, so it doesn’t stick to the surface. With a cookie cutter or drinking glass, cut 2 inch circles in the dough. When you are left with scraps of dough, roll it out again and cut more circles.
5. Cover with a towel for 30 minutes. Fill a pan with 2 inches of oil. Heat oil to 350F/175C. Fry the doughnuts for about 1 minute on each side.
6. Remove and place on cooling rack or plate with paper towels.
7. With a squeeze tube or piping bag, add your favorite jelly or jam to the doughnuts.
