300 ml (1/2 pint) warm milk

1. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, then rub in the butter or margarine. Cream the yeast with 15 g (1/2 oz) of the sugar.
2. Make a well in the centre of the flour, pour in the warm milk and beaten eggs. Add the yeast, mix to a light dough, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
3. Divide the dough into 16 and shape into rounds. Place a small teaspoonful of jam in the centre of each round and draw up the edges to form a ball, pinching the dough together to seal.
4. Put into oiled tartlet tins to prove in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
5. Heat the oil to 180C/360F. Deep fry the doughnuts for 3-5 minutes, drain on absorbent kitchen paper and roll in the remaining caster sugar.
Cook's Tip
To make jam and cream doughnuts, shape the unfilled dough into long doughnuts. Deep fry and roll in sugar. Split when cool and fill with jam and whipped cream.
