Method

  1. Put the flour, yeast, sugar and 1⁄2 tsp salt into a large bowl, mix, then make a well in the middle. Beat the egg yolks, milk and melted butter together, tip into the well, then bring together with a cutlery knife. The dough will seem wet and rough. Leave to stand for 10 mins, after which it will have firmed a little.
  2. Oil the work surface and your hands, then tip out the dough and knead for about 5 mins until it looks smoother and feels springy. Keep oiling your hands if the dough sticks. Let it rise in an oiled, covered bowl in a warm place for about 2 hrs or until doubled in size.
  3. Give the dough another quick knead, then shape into walnut-size balls and place on baking sheets, well spaced. Cover again, then leave to rise for 30 mins-1 hr until risen and the dough no longer springs back when you prod it. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5.
  4. Bake for 12-15 mins until risen and dark golden. Can be frozen at this stage for up to 1 month. Defrost, then reheat for few mins in the oven. Melt 50g butter in a pan and put 50g sugar into a large bowl. Let the doughnuts cool for a few mins, then brush with butter and roll in sugar. Spoon a few tbsp jam into a piping bag with a 5mm nozzle. Poke a hole in each doughnut, then push in the nozzle and squeeze in a little jam. Best served warm.

    This is a poor recipe. The quantity of oil need to knead it and shape makes for a wet mix which rises poorly. Do-nuts really need to be fried to get the genuine taste. I won't try this again

    I just don't see how this recipe can work - almost impossible to knead the sticky mess it makes. Maybe less milk required but I won't be making it again to see if that works. I salvaged my gloop by shallow frying dollops of it in a pan then coating with sugar - very edible!

    I've got to be honest... these look like doughnuts, but I'm afraid they just taste like sweet bread. I think frying them would give them the real crispy taste that I was looking for, baking just doesn't work (healthier though it is!).

    Mine didn't rise much, and they didn't look like doughnuts at all - quite flat really! Perhaps not enough yeast but even so, I won't be making these again. Too messy for the effort too.
