1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
-
1/2 cup raspberry jam (seedless, if preferred)

Granulated sugar, for coating
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

In a large bowl, combine milk, sugar, salt, egg, and yeast mixture. Mix in flour gradually, then add butter and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5–7 minutes).
-
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Place rounds on a tray, cover, and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
-
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

While still warm, roll donuts in sugar.

Fill a piping bag with raspberry jam and inject into the center of each donut.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
