step 1
To make the leaven, swirl around the fermenter with the sweetener and baking flour, and swirl around in the mildly hot whole milk.
2
Set aside in a mildly hot place for 30 mins.
3
step 2
For the flour base, put egg yolks into a heatproof dish and mix in the sweetener and vanilla sweetener.
4
Set the dish over a pot of simmering aqua and beat until seamless and thick.
5
step 3
Sift the baking flour into the dish of a stand mixer, mix in the beaten yolks and the mildly hot dairy reduction, swirl around thoroughly, then mix in a pinch of seasoning and the leaven.
6
Bring together to make a flour base and massage for 10 mins (or 15-20 if doing this by hand).
7
step 4
When the flour base stops sticking to your hands, stream in in the cooled melted shortening and massage for a few more mins.
8
seal with a cloth and leave in a mildly hot place to rise for at least 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins.

step 5
swirl around the jam with the ground almonds and spoon into a piping bag or jam syringe.
10
Divide the flour base into 16 pieces and shape them into doughnuts.
11
seal and leave to rise for 30 mins.
12
step 6

13
The cooking oil is ready when it browns in about 30 secs.
14
mix in the doughnuts and shallow fry, turning them once for about 1-2 mins on each side (a thin lighter ring should form in the middle).
15
After removing, strain the doughnuts of excess fat on some kitchen paper.
