Name: Grandma's doughnuts with jam or raspberry mousse – a sweet classic that never disappoints
Prep time: 40 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 1 kg all-purpose flour; 600 ml milk; 2 eggs; 3 egg yolks; 2 cubes of yeast (84 g); 8 tablespoons powdered sugar; 1 packet of vanilla sugar; 8 tablespoons oil; 100 ml rum; a pinch of salt; grated lemon zest; oil for frying; 4 egg whites; 200 g sugar; 300 ml raspberries (fresh, from compote, or 3 tablespoons of jam)

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.
