INGREDIENTS

4 slices white bread
2 tbsp jam
100 g plain flour
300 ml milk
1 egg
2 tbsp sugar
vegetable oil for cooking

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the grill to 200°c.
  • Begin by adding approx 3cm of vegetable oil to a cast iron pan and placing over direct heat.
  • To make the batter mix the flour, milk and egg with a whisk until combined and there are no more lumps.
  • Spread one slice of bread with jam then sandwich with the other slice of bread. Remove the crusts and cut into triangles.
  • When the oil reaches 170 – 175 C you are ready to fry the doughnit. You can check if the oil is hot enought by pouring a teaspoon of the batter in and if it starts to bubble, it’s ready.
  • Dip each side of the sandwiches in the batter coating completely then gently lower into the oil.
  • Allow the batter to cook until golden, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove and place onto a kithcen towel to remove any excess oil.
  • Pour the sugar into a bowl. Using tongs dip each side of the doughnut into the sugar coating completely.
  • Allow the doughnut to cool before eating, but still eat whilst slightly warm.
