Soft, fragrant and perfectly fluffy – that’s exactly how homemade doughnuts with jam or raspberry mousse are according to our grandmothers’ traditional recipe. This retro dessert has become a symbol of a relaxed Sunday afternoon and the scent of childhood, when the whole kitchen was filled with the warm aroma of freshly fried doughnuts.

For 10 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

For the raspberry mousse:

Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the starter: Crumble the yeast into 200 ml of lukewarm milk, add a tablespoon of sugar and stir. Let rest for 10–15 minutes until the starter doubles in volume.
  • Preparing the dough: Pour the remaining milk into a large bowl, add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar. Stir in the rum and oil. Then gradually add the flour with salt and lemon zest. Knead into a smooth, elastic dough that does not stick. Sprinkle it with flour, cover with a clean towel and let it rise for about 60 minutes in a warm place.
  • Shaping the doughnuts: Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface, briefly knead and roll out into a sheet about 1 cm thick. Using a glass, cut out circles about 8 cm in diameter. Let them proof for another 10–15 minutes.
  • Frying: Heat enough oil in a deeper pan or pot. Using your finger make a small indentation in the center of each circle and place them into the hot oil. Fry on both sides until golden. Let the finished doughnuts drain on paper towels.
  • Preparing the raspberry mousse: Whisk the egg whites with sugar over a bain-marie until thick, glossy foam. Then add the pureed fruit or jam and gently fold in.
  • Finishing: Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar and fill with jam or raspberry mousse. You can decorate them with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
