Making doughnuts at home is double rewarding I can promise you that. Not only do they taste much better than the commercial variety, you are guaranteed of a freshly made batch every time! I have ever bought doughnuts from a large supermarket and I regretted wasting my money. The doughnut was not only dry but it tasted stale! And the way I had been craving a doughnut, and what made me buy was how fluffy it looked yet it was awful to say the least. Anyway, moving on from bad doughnut memories. This is my third recipe as I have done plain eggless doughnuts and peanut glazed ones, amazing! I still look forward to making even more. Homemade doughnuts give you a wonderful aroma that invades the house in such a beautiful way you won't want to have doughnuts in any other way! I love how yeast smells especially when the dough is rising, almost intoxicating! Fresh yeast can be frozen. Wrap small pieces in cling film, then pack in a polythene bag and store up to 6 months. Leave yeast dough to rise in a warm place. If you don't have a warm place or its one of those cold seasons like it still is right now, you can warm the grill compartment of the cooker but make sure that it is not too hot or the dough will dry out on top and begin to cook instead of rise. These jam doughnuts are incredibly delicious, fluffy and have a lovely surprise on the inside! Perfect for comfort food.
