Jelly-Filled Donuts Using Bakers Mix (Easy Hack)

Who can resist the soft, fluffy goodness of a jelly-filled donut? Now you don’t have to be a pastry chef—or spend hours in the kitchen—to enjoy this indulgent treat. With this clever kitchen hack using Bakers Baking Powder or Instant Dried Yeast and BAKERS Jelly Crystals, you can whip up donuts that look and taste straight from the bakery.

Ready to impress guests—or just treat yourself—with minimal effort? Let’s dive into this deliciously simple recipe.

Why This Shortcut Works So Well

Traditional jelly donuts are labor-intensive: from yeast-proofing to lengthy rising and deep frying. But with Bakers Baking Powder or Instant Yeast, you can skip the slow steps and still get that light, airy donut texture we all crave. Bakers' products are renowned for their reliable results, whether you're a home baker or a pro.

And thanks to Pluugin Store, getting your hands on top-quality Bakers ingredients has never been easier.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups refined flour
  

• 2 tsp Bakers Baking Powder or 1 tbsp Bakers Instant Dried Yeast
  

• 2 tbsp sugar
  

• ¾ cup warm milk
  

• 2 tbsp melted butter
  

• 1 egg
  

• A pinch of salt
  

• BAKERS Jelly Crystals (any flavor you love!)
  

• Oil for frying
  

• Powdered sugar for dusting
  

How to Prepare the Jelly Filling

Step 1: In a saucepan, add the BAKERS Jelly Crystals according to the packet instructions—usually with water and sugar.

 Step 2: Bring it to a light boil, then simmer until it thickens slightly into a jelly-like consistency.

Step 3: Let it cool completely. Once cool, transfer it to a piping bag with a narrow tip—ready to fill those donuts!

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Activate Yeast (If Using)

If you’re using Bakers Instant Dried Yeast, dissolve it in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Skip this step if you're using Bakers Baking Powder.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the egg, melted butter, and milk (with activated yeast or plain if using baking powder). Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3: Let It Rest

Let dough rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes if using yeast. For baking powder, allow the dough to rest for 10–15 minutes to activate the leavening.

Step 4: Shape the Donuts

Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass rim.

Step 5: Fry to Perfection

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Step 6: Fill with Jelly

Let donuts cool slightly. Then, use a piping bag filled with your prepared BAKERS Jelly Crystals filling to inject jelly into the center.

Step 7: Dust and Serve

Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar for that classic jelly donut vibe.

Pro Tips for Donut Perfection

• Don’t overcrowd your oil; it’ll lower the temperature and result in greasy donuts.
  

• Make sure your jelly filling is smooth and completely cooled before piping.
  

• Feeling fancy? Dip the tops in melted chocolate for an extra-special twist.
