Jelly Donuts

 

 

 

Whenever my in-laws go to their hometowns in the summer they always bring back bismarks from a local bakery.  They are incredible.  I had never heard them called bismarks before though.  I had just heard them called jelly donuts.

 

One of the things I love about jelly donuts is that you can use whatever type of jelly you like as the filling.  These were blackberry, but my favorite are probably the raspberry filled ones. 

 

These were the third type of donuts I made with the Kopy Kat Krispy Kreme Donuts recipe.  The other was the Chocolate Covered Cream Filled Donuts.  For the Jelly Donuts, I covered them with powdered sugar because the jelly donuts my in-laws always bring back are covered with powdered sugar and I've never seen them that way before.  If you prefer a glaze over them you can always use the glaze recipe from the Kopy Kat Krispy Kreme Donuts.

Ingredients:

Kopy Kat Krispy Kreme Donut recipe and ingredients

Piping Bag

Coupler for Piping Bag

Size 10 Piping Tip

2 c. Powdered Sugar

Jelly in the flavor of your choice

 

Instructions:

You will need to follow the Kopy Kat Krispy Kreme Donut Recipe. After the dough has risen, turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2 in. thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured large round cookie cutter or a donut cutter with the center piece removed. Cover and let rise until double, approximately 30 - 40 minutes.

Heat your oil to 350F. Place the donuts in the oil. Cook on each side for about 1 minute. Remove the donuts from the oil and place on a rack to drain.

While the donuts are cooling, place the jelly into a piping bag fitted with a coupler and a large piping tip.

Place the piping tip into the donut and put approximately 1 tablespoon of the jelly into the donut. 

Put 2 c. powdered sugar into a small mixing bowl and coat the donut with the powdered sugar. 

 

Enjoy!
