They are equally special filled with jam. Ingredients 1 package active dry yeast 3 tablespoon sugar ½ cup warm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F) 3 ½ cup all-purpose flour ½ cup warm milk or water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F) 1 egg 1 egg yolk ¼ teaspoon salt 3 tablespoon butter or pareve margarine, cut up and softened Cooking oil for deep-frying ⅓ cup sugar ¾ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread Directions In a small bowl, whisk together yeast, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and 12 cup warm water until yeast is dissolved. Let stand for 10 minutes. In a large food processor, combine flour, milk, egg, egg yolk, salt, yeast mixture, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover and process until combined. Add butter; cover and process until combined (dough will be sticky).* BHG /Abbey Littlejohn Place dough in lightly greased bowl; cover and chill in refrigerator overnight (8 to 12 hours). BHG / Abbey Littlejohn On a well-floured surface, roll dough to 12-inch thickness. Using a 2-1/2-inch round cutter, cut dough. Reroll as necessary. Arrange dough rounds on a baking sheet dusted with all-purpose flour. Cover and let rise about 30 minutes or until nearly double in size. BHG / Abbey Littlejohn Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep saucepan to 365 degrees F. In a bowl, place 1/3 cup sugar; set aside. Place chocolate-hazelnut spread in a decorating bag fitted with a large round tip; set aside. Fry doughnuts, three at a time, in deep hot oil about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove doughnuts using a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. While warm, use tongs to dip each doughnut in sugar to coat. Holding each doughnut (use tongs if necessary), use a dowel, chopstick, or prong of an instant-read thermometer to poke a hole in one side of doughnut. Pipe chocolate-hazelnut spread through opening. Repeat on opposite side of doughnut. Serve warm. Makes about 16 doughnuts.
