1-First Step: Prepare the Dough: Whisk together the dry ingredients 12 ounces of all-purpose flour, 1.45 ounces of granulated sugar, 1 ounce of malted milk powder, 2 tsp of active dry yeast, and 1 tsp of kosher salt in a large bowl until everything’s evenly mixed. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 4 ounces of water, 4 ounces of whole milk, 2 large egg yolks, and 1.2 ounces of neutral vegetable oil, stirring until blended. Now, pour the wet mix into the dry and knead for about 15 minutes until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl that’s your sign it’s ready. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, which takes 1 to 1.5 hours, then roll it out to ½-inch thickness, cut into 3-inch circles, and proof for another 45 minutes.

2-Second Step: Make the Raspberry Filling: While the dough proofs, simmer 20 ounces of raspberries, 14 ounces of granulated sugar, 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, and ¼ tsp of kosher salt in a pot over medium heat until it reaches a boil stir occasionally to avoid sticking. In a small bowl, whisk together 5 6 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 ounces of white grape juice or apple juice until smooth, then add this to the berry mixture. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens up nicely. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain out the seeds at this point, then let it cool completely before using. This step really highlights the fresh taste that makes this raspberry filled donut recipe a standout.

3-Third Step: Prepare the Glaze: In a saucepan over low heat, melt 1.5 ounces of unsalted butter with 1.2 ounces of neutral vegetable oil until fully combined. Whisk in a heavy pinch of kosher salt and 1 pound of confectioners’ sugar until it forms a thick paste. Gradually add ⅓ to ½ cup of very hot filtered water, a little at a time, whisking until the glaze is thin and easy to pour. If it thickens up later, give it a quick microwave zap to keep it smooth this glaze is what gives your donut that professional shine.

4-Fourth Step: Fry and Assemble the Donuts: Heat your neutral vegetable oil to 360°F in a deep fryer or pot, and fry the proofed donut for about 1 minute per side until they’re golden brown and floating with about one-third submerged if they sink, they might need more proofing time. Once fried, let them cool on a rack. For assembly, cut a small slit in each cooled donut and pipe in the raspberry filling using a piping bag. Stand the filled donut upright for 30 minutes to let the filling settle, then dip them into the glaze, making sure they’re fully coated. Set them back on the rack to set, and you’re all done your raspberry filled donut recipe is ready to enjoy!

5-Final Step: Finishing Touches and Serving: After glazing, let the donut sit for a few minutes to firm up, then serve them warm for the best experience. If you’re adapting for dietary needs, like going vegan, swap in those flaxseed eggs as mentioned earlier to keep things inclusive. Pair these with a cold drink from our site, such as the almond coconut chai spice oatmeal for a cozy breakfast vibe, and watch them disappear at your next gathering.
