📜 Instructions:
- Soften the yeast in warm water, allowing it to “bloom” or proof for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, salt, butter, orange juice, and rum extract.
- Pour scalded milk over the ingredients, stirring until the butter melts. Cool to lukewarm.
- Blend in 1 cup of unbleached flour, beating until smooth.
- Add yeast and half of the remaining flour, beating until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, then gradually add enough remaining flour to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured board, letting it rest for 5-10 minutes. Knead until smooth and elastic (8-10 minutes).
- Form into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk in a warm, draft-free place.
- Punch down the dough, knead lightly, then roll it to a 1/2-inch thickness.
- Cut rounds using a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Let them rise until double in bulk.
- Heat the fat 20 minutes before frying. Fry doughnuts until lightly browned, turning carefully.
- Drain on absorbent paper toweling and let cool.
- Cut a slit through the center of each doughnut, then fill with jam or jelly. Press lightly to close the slit.
- Shake in a bag containing granulated or powdered sugar to add a sweet finishing touch.
