Polish doughnuts (Pączki) (Polish Dessert)

step 1
To make the yeast, mix the yeast with the sugar and flour and add the warm milk. Reserve in a warm place for 30 minutes.

step 2
For the dough, put the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl and add the sugar and vanilla sugar. Place the bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and whisk until smooth and thick.

step 3
Sift the flour into the bowl of a mixer, add the beaten yolks and warm cream, mix well, then add a pinch of salt and the yeast. Gather together to make a dough and knead for 10 minutes (or 15-20 if doing it by hand).

step 4
When the dough stops sticking to your hands, pour in the cooled melted butter and knead for a few more minutes. Cover with a cloth and let it rest in a warm place for at least 1 hr-1 hr 30 min.

step 5
Mix the jam with the ground almonds and pour into a pastry bag or jam syringe. Divide the dough into 16 pieces and shape them into donuts. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

step 6
Fill a deep frying pan or deep fryer one-third full with oil or melted lard and heat until it reaches 180°C; If you don't have a thermometer, add a small piece of bread. The oil will be ready when it turns golden brown in about 30 seconds. Add the donuts and fry, turning once for about 1 to 2 minutes per side (a thin, lighter ring should form in the middle). After removing them, we drain the donuts of excess fat on some kitchen paper.
