Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Heat Oil:
- Begin by heating oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Make sure you have enough oil for deep frying.
-
-
Flatten Biscuits:
- Take each canned biscuit and flatten it gently. A good way to do this is by placing a biscuit in the palm of your hand and pressing down until it is almost see-through. This step ensures your doughnuts cook evenly and have that perfect doughnut shape.
-
Add Jelly:
- Once your biscuits are flattened, it’s time to add the delicious jelly filling! Spoon about 2 teaspoons of your favorite jelly or jam onto the center of 10 of the flattened biscuits. You can use any flavor you like, whether it’s classic strawberry, raspberry, or something more exotic.
-
Brush with Egg White:
- Next, take your beaten egg white and brush it around the edges of the biscuits that have the jelly on them. This helps to seal the doughnuts and prevents the jelly from leaking out during frying.
-
Assemble Doughnuts:
- Now, take the remaining flattened biscuits and place them on top of the jelly-covered ones. Press the edges together firmly to seal the doughnuts shut. You want to make sure they are well sealed so that the jelly stays inside while they fry.
-
Fry Until Golden Brown:
- Carefully lower each assembled doughnut into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry them until they are golden brown, which usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them as they cook, and adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.
-
Drain Excess Oil:
- Once your doughnuts are beautifully golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This helps to absorb any excess oil and keeps your doughnuts nice and light.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Your super easy jelly doughnuts are now ready to be devoured! Serve them warm for the best flavor and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy doughnut exterior and gooey jelly filling. These are perfect for breakfast, a sweet treat during Hanukkah celebrations, or anytime you’re craving something indulgent and delicious.
