Ingredients

10 g yeast
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tbsp flour
125 ml milk
7 egg yolks
15 g sugar
10 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
500 g flour
200 ml double cream
15 g butter
125 ml jam
10 g ground almonds
75 g icing sugar

1 dash almond essence

Steps

Warm the milk, cream, butter, yeast, one teaspoon caster sugar, and one tablespoon flour until lukewarm, then rest for 10 minutes.
Beat in the egg yolks, remaining sugars, vanilla, and flour until a soft dough forms, then knead for 5 minutes.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, until puffy.
Roll the dough to one-half-inch thickness, cut rounds, and rest them for 5 minutes.
Heat cooking oil in a deep pot to 350 F and fry the doughnuts in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
Cool the doughnuts, fill them with jam, and mix the icing sugar, lemon juice, almond essence, and ground almonds before drizzling it over the doughnuts and adding the almonds.
