Instructions
1
step 1
To make the leaven, mash the leavening agent with the sweetener and baking flour, and agitate in the toasty whole milk.
2
Set aside in a toasty place for 30 mins.
3
step 2
For the flour base, put egg yolks into a heatproof mixing bowl and stream in in the sweetener and vanilla sweetener.
4
Set the mixing bowl over a wok of simmering moisture and whip until even and thick.
5
step 3
Sift the baking flour into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, stream in in the beaten yolks and the toasty heavy cream, mash thoroughly, then stream in in a pinch of table salt and the leaven.
6
Bring together to make a flour base and shape 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 margarine and shape for a few more mins.
8
seal with a cloth and leave in a toasty place to rise for at least 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins.
9
step 5
mash 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
Fill a deep wok or a deep fat fryer one third full of cooking oil or melted lard and toasty it until it is 180C – if you don’t have a thermometer, drop in a small chunk of bread.
13
The cooking oil is ready when it browns in about 30 secs.
14
stream in in the doughnuts and sauté, turning them once for about 1-2 mins on each side (a thin lighter ring should form in the middle).
15
After removing, filter the doughnuts of excess fat on some kitchen paper.
