Donut-shop jelly donuts can be tasty even when the filling looks industrial and shiny, but these deliciously rich jelly donuts are the real thing. Start with the dough for our Basic Yeast Donuts. Cut the risen dough in circles, let them rise again, and fry. The final step is creating a pocket in the center of each donut, filling with your favorite jelly or jam, and tossing in sugar to coat.
Special equipment: For this recipe, you’ll need a smooth-sided biscuit cutter measuring 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter and a pastry bag fitted with a small tip.
