Description

Soft, fluffy baked donuts filled with sweet jelly and dusted in sugar. These homemade treats are lighter than fried donuts but just as delicious—perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

For the Donuts:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Filling & Topping:

  • 1/2 cup strawberry or raspberry jelly
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the whole milk, large eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan cavities, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
  6. Bake Donuts: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove and let them cool completely in the pan.
  7. Fill with Jelly: Once cooled, transfer each donut to a flat surface. Use a piping bag fitted with a long tip to inject about a tablespoon of strawberry or raspberry jelly into the center of each donut.
  8. Brush and Coat Donuts: Brush each jelly-filled donut with melted butter, then roll them in granulated sugar to coat evenly, giving them a sweet, crunchy exterior.
  9. Serve: Serve the jelly-filled baked donuts fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a long piping tip for easy filling of the jelly into the donuts.
  • Try different jam flavors like apricot, blueberry, or blackberry for variety.
  • These baked donuts are best enjoyed fresh the same day for optimal taste and texture.
