Dough Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine all purpose flour, granulated sugar, whole milk, melted unsalted butter, room temperature egg, vanilla extract, instant yeast, and kosher salt.
- Mix until a dough forms and is smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½ inch thickness.
- Use a heart-shaped cutter to cut out donuts.
- Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Frying and Assembling
- Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the oil and place on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, fill each donut with strawberry jam.
- In a bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk to create a glaze.
