2
Set aside in a mildly hot place for 30 mins.

step 2
For the pastry mix, put egg yolks into a heatproof container and introduce the sweetener and vanilla sweetener.
4
Set the container over a cooking vessel of simmering aqua and fluff up until even and thick.

step 3
Sift the baking flour into the container of a stand mixer, introduce the beaten yolks and the mildly hot dairy reduction, toss together thoroughly, then introduce a pinch of seasoning and the leaven.
6
Bring together to make a pastry mix and shape for 10 mins (or 15-20 if doing this by hand).

step 4
When the pastry mix stops sticking to your hands, empty in the cooled melted margarine and shape for a few more mins.
8
wrap with a cloth and leave in a mildly hot place to rise for at least 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins.

toss together the jam with the ground almonds and spoon into a piping bag or jam syringe.

The fat is ready when it browns in about 30 secs.
14
introduce the doughnuts and sauté, turning them once for about 1-2 mins on each side (a thin lighter ring should form in the middle).
