Long Jam Doughnuts ( Long John Doughnuts)
Ingredients
- 1 packet of 6 brioche hot dog rolls
- 3oo ml thickened cream
- ¼ cup icing mixture
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Raspberry jam (see notes)
- Extra icing mixture to dust
Instructions
- Whisk the cream, icing mixture and vanilla in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon the whipped cream into a large piping bag (40cm) and snip the end about 1 inch from the end (you will want your piping circle to be about 1cm in diameter).
- Pour ¼ cup of jam into a small piping bag (30cm) and snip a small amount of the end off.
- Brioche buns should be precut. If so, open up the buns and pipe a line of jam at the bottom of each bun, followed by a line of cream and finish off with a line of jam on the top. Dust lightly with icing mixture.
Notes
- I purchase my 'Baker's Raspberry Jam' from Spotlight. This jam is the closest jam to the jam they use at the doughnut shops.
- If you can't find this jam, you can use your favourite raspberry or strawberry jam
- These doughnuts are best served straight away.
