Berry-filled Doughnuts
Ingredients:4 cups vegetable oil
1 tube (7.5 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, separated into 10 biscuits
3/4 c. seedless strawberry jam
1 c. confectioner's sugar
Directions:
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry biscuits, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a very small tip. Fill bag with jam. Push the tip through the side of each doughnut to fill with jam. Dust with confectioner's sugar while warm. Serve immediately.
In my test kitchen:
Hold up! I misread the recipe when I made these and searched the store forever for seedless raspberry jam. Finally found some but didn't realize it called for seedless strawberry jam until I typed the recipe out here. Slightly annoyed since seedless strawberry jam was all I could find at first! Point is though...you can make this with a variety of fillings and it would be great. Strawberry or raspberry jam, lemon pie filling, or simply roll them around in some cinnamon/sugar as soon as they come out of the fryer. I have some leftover lemon pudding that I am going to try this week.
Be careful not to fill these too full. It's hard to know how much is getting into the doughnut. It took me about four doughnuts to get the hang of it.
~Happy Cooking!
