Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 3 tbsp sugar. Stir in the 3/4 cup milk until a soft dough forms, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    On a floured surface, pat the dough to 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 8 rounds with a biscuit cutter or glass.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the 2 cups oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a pinch of dough sizzles, about 5 minutes. Fry the doughnuts in batches, 2 at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    Drain on paper towels. While still warm, poke a hole in each side and spoon in the 1/2 cup jelly. Dust generously with powdered sugar if you have it.
