Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together yeast, water, and 1 teaspoon sugar until yeast is dissolved. Let stand 10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, add flour and make a well in the center. Add eggs, yeast mixture, butter, and salt. Stir to combine.

Knead dough, adding more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is smooth and elastic and only slightly sticky, about 10 minutes by hand and 5 to 6 minutes in a stand mixer. Shape dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours

Punch down dough and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a biscuit or cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut dough into 2 1/2-inch circles. Re-roll out dough as necessary. Cover circles with a tea towel and let rest 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat to 370°F. Add doughnuts to oil 3 to 4 at a time, flipping over with a slotted spoon until both sides are deep golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove doughnuts with slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.

Poke a skewer in the side of each doughnut. Using a pastry bag with a narrow piping tip attached, pipe about 1 to 2 teaspoons seedless jam into each hole. Sprinkle doughnuts with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
