• 3 1/2 cups (420 grams) AP flour
• 1 cup (240 grams) whole milk
• 4 tbsp (57 grams) unsalted butter
• 4 1/2 tsp instant yeast
• 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar

1. Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt and nutmeg in the bowl of a stand mixer.
2. Heat milk and butter until warm (120 – 130 degrees F). Slowly add to flour mixture and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed scraping the bowl occasionally.

4. Cover and let rest for 30-45 minutes. 
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ½ inch thickness and cut out 3 inch rounds.  Knead the remaining dough together, re-roll and cut remaining dough.
6. Place doughnuts on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.
7. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep heavy bottomed pan to 350 F.
8. Fry 2-3 donuts at a time, turning occasionally until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Remove from oil and drain the donuts on paper towels.
10. Insert the pastry tip into the side of each donut and firmly squeeze jam into the center of the donut.
11. Dip the doughnuts into the glaze.  Place on wired rack until glaze is set.
12. Enjoy!
