Makes 36-48 doughnuts
Instructions:
-
Heat Oil: Begin by heating oil in your deep fryer until it reaches a temperature of 375-380 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it’s hot enough to give your doughnuts that perfect crispiness.
-
Prepare the Dough: Take 12 slices of your favorite bread and generously spread jam on each slice. Opt for fruit jams or jelly for the best flavor. Then, cover each jam-covered slice with another slice of crustless bread.
-
Shape the Doughnuts: Get creative with the shape! You can cut the sandwiched bread into any shape you desire. Whether it’s classic rounds or quirky squares, let your imagination run wild. For a Bismark-type doughnut, cut them into three pieces.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. This mixture will give your doughnuts a delightful flavor and texture.
-
Coat the Doughnuts: Carefully dip both sides of each doughnut into the egg mixture, ensuring they’re lightly coated. Be cautious not to soak the doughnuts, as this may result in a soggy texture.
-
Fry the Doughnuts: Once your oil has reached the optimum temperature, gently drop a few doughnuts into the fryer. Fry them for approximately 2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Maintaining the correct temperature is crucial to achieving the perfect texture.
-
Drain and Serve: Remove the fried doughnuts from the oil and place them on a rack to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
-
Optional Toppings: For an extra touch of sweetness, you can drizzle icing sugar over the doughnuts as soon as you remove them from the fryer. Alternatively, enjoy them plain and let their delicious flavors speak for themselves.
-
Enjoy: Gather your loved ones and indulge in these irresistible Jailhouse Doughnuts. Whether it’s a special occasion or a simple craving, these treats are sure to delight everyone’s taste buds. Serve them warm for the ultimate indulgence!
