6 g baking powder
-
3 egg yolks
-
100 g powdered sugar

1 vanilla sugar

Preparation
-
In a bowl, mix Premium Mix flour, dry yeast, baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt.

Add egg yolks, butter, sour cream, rum, lemon zest and warm milk.
-
Knead the dough in a stand mixer for 5–10 minutes. The dough will initially be sticky, which is normal – the texture will improve during proofing.
-
Form the dough into a ball, cover it, and let it rise for 1 hour.
-
Then, form balls weighing approximately 70 g. You can use a little oil to help with shaping.
-
Place the balls on baking paper or an oiled surface, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise for another 2 hours.
-
Heat oil in a pot (oil height approximately 0.5 cm, quantity approx. 0.5 l, depending on the pot size).
-
Once the oil reaches 160 °C, carefully place the doughnuts into the oil and fry them over low heat.
-
first, 4 minutes covered with a lid,
-
then turn them over and fry for another 3 minutes uncovered.
-
Remove the fried doughnuts from the oil, let them cool slightly, then fill them with jam or any desired filling.
Tip: Doughnuts are best fresh, still slightly warm.
