I worked for a number of years in a women's correctional facility and these were a regular treat. You won't believe how good they are. Put a good tablespoon full of jam in each donut

36 -48 doughnuts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

24 slices white bread, crusts removed
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
jam or jelly (Your favorite)
icing sugar

Directions

1
Heat oil in your deep fryer to 375-380 degrees F.
2
Spread your favorite jam on 12 slices of the bread (fruit jams or jelly are best rather than marmalade).
3
Cover with another slice of the crustless bread and cut the sandwich into any shape you want, into thre pieces to make a Bismark type of doughnut, or cut them into four squares, whatever pleases you.
4
Beat the eggs, milk, sugar and Vanilla together.
5
LIGHTLY DIP both sides of the dougnut in the egg mixture (do not soak the doughnut).
6
When deepfryer has reached the right temperature (375-380f) drop in a few doughnuts and fry about 2 minutes on each side. It is extremely important that you have the temperature high enough and do not soak the bread in the egg just dip them or you will end up with soggy, greasy lumps.
7
They should be golden and crisp.
8
Wait a few minutes between batches to ensure the temp is hot enough or you will end up with a grease soaked doughnut.
9
Drain on a rack.
10
If you wish you can drizzle icing sugar over them just after you remove them from the fryer or have them plain.

If I made it again, I would still increase the proportion of egg a bit as I felt the egg mixture was a bit thin.

The name of these got me in. I found them to be really very good. I made them one night when I was having a sweet attack. They went down well in my family. I read prior ratings, and I think I know what went wrong for Sharlene~W and Chandra. I found I only needed to dip quite briefly into the egg mixture to get the right texture when cooked. If you leave it in the egg mixture to soak, they will come out mushy. I also think they work better with day old bread. I sprinkled with sugar when they were cooked. Thanks for the great recipe.

How unique!! I made them with my homemade strawberry jam, and you're right! I can't believe how good they are. Thanks for sharing.

These were really good and easy to make. My son and his friend thought they were great! I made them using homemade whole wheat bread and homemade blueberry jelly. Yummmm. Also, because I hate to waste anything, I took the pieces of crust and dipped them in the leftover egg mixture and deep-fried them as you would french fries. I made a dip for them out of icing sugar, touch of milk, and a drop of butternut flavoring (any flavour would do). These were as good as the donuts!
