Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) warm milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup (100g) fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, cubed
  • Fresh sage leaves
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, eggs, and softened butter. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst, about 5-7 minutes. Blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Return the strained mixture to the saucepan and whisk in egg yolks and butter over low heat until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
  3. Roll the dough to 1/2 inch (1.3cm) thickness on a floured surface. Cut out donuts using cutters. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a heavy-bottomed pan. Fry donuts in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Brush sage leaves lightly with egg white and dip them into granulated sugar. Set aside to dry for 1 hour.
  5. Use a pastry bag or small spoon to fill each donut with the cooled cranberry curd. Pipe or spoon the filling into the center of each donut.
  6. Garnish the donuts with sugared sage leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the oil stays at 350°F (175°C) for even frying. Strain the cranberry curd for a silky texture. Let sugared sage leaves dry completely before using.
