  • Heat the milk, butter, and vanilla until the butter melts. Let it cool to lukewarm.
  • Stir in the yeast and one tablespoon of sugar. Cover for 10 minutes. Add the eggs.
  • Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the remaining sugar.
  • Make a well in the flour and add the milk mixture. Form a thick dough.
  • On a floured surface, knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let it sit for 2 hours in an oiled bowl, covered with plastic, until it doubles in size.
  • On a floured surface, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  • Form balls with the palms of your hands and space them out on the trays.
  • Cover with plastic and a cloth. Let rise for 2 hours, until they double in size.
  • With an oil thermometer, heat 10 centimeters of oil to 340-350 F (170-180 °C), for safety keep a lid nearby.
  • Lift the donuts from their trays. Don't worry if they are flat on one side.
  • Dip them in the oil, rounded side down. Turn them over after 1 minute.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon when golden brown on all sides. Turn off the heat.
  • Drain on paper towels, then, while still warm, roll them in sugar. Let cool.
  • Put the jam into a piping bag. Puncture the donut and insert the nozzle.
  • Inject a dollop of jam into the hole, until it almost overflows. Sprinkle sugar in the hole, serve.
