Instructions
- Stir a teaspoon of sugar in a few tablespoons of lukewarm milk and add 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Leave it to rise in the warmth. Within about 15 minutes, bubbles should appear on the surface, indicating that the starter is ready to use.
- Meanwhile, cream 4 egg yolks with 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar and ⅓ stick unsalted butter, softened, in a bowl. Use an electric mixer with whisk or paddle attachement.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the creamed egg mixture: 3 cups all-purpose flour, the rest of ¾ cup milk, lukewarm, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 Tablespoons spiced rum. Knead thoroughly to form a smooth, elastic yeast dough. If the dough is too sticky, dust it with a spoonful of flour and work it in.
- Cover the koblihy dough with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of about ½ inch (1 cm). Using a small glass or donut cutter, cut out rounds with a diameter of 2 to 2.5 inches (5 to 7 cm). Gather the remaining dough, knead it lightly (using minimal extra flour if needed), roll it out again, and cut more rounds.
- Allow the cut-outs to rise in a warm place for an additional 30 minutes.
- Heat the frying oil in a wide saucepan over medium heat, ensuring the temperature is not too high. The recommended temperature for frying koblihy is 350 °F (180 °C). Add enough oil so that the koblihy donuts do not touch the bottom of the pan. I use approximately 4 cups canola for a 10-inch (20 cm) wide pan.
- Place the risen koblihy top side down into the hot oil, ensuring they float and do not touch each other. When the oil is properly heated, the donuts will rise beautifully.
- Fry the koblihy on one side for one and half minutes, then flip and fry for another one and half minutes on the other side. Use a metal (not plastic!) slotted spoon or colander to remove them from the oil. Let the excess oil drain by placing the koblihy on a plate lined with paper towels.
- While the koblihy are still warm, use a filling injector or a decorating bag with a thin, plain tip to fill them. Make sure to stir ⅔ cup jam until smooth beforehand, or warm it with a spoonful of rum to ensure it flows easily through the tip.
- Dust the filled koblihy with 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar and serve.
Notes
- STORAGE:
- The basic recipe makes about 16 pieces of Koblihy.
- When frying, test one donut first to make sure the oil is at the correct temperature. If the donut starts to brown too quickly, the oil is too hot. If it sinks to the bottom, the oil is not hot enough.
- Fry the koblihy for a minute and a half on each side. Cut the first sample donut open to ensure no raw dough is left inside.
- STORAGE: Koblihy will stay fresh for about two days at room temperature or up to five days in the refrigerator. If you have any leftovers, cover them with a glass or plastic lid to prevent them from drying out.
