Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add egg, melted butter, honey, and salt, mixing well.
Step 2: Gradually add flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
Step 3: Punch down dough and roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. Rest 15 minutes on a floured surface.
Step 4: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry dough circles for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Cut a small slit in each doughnut, fill with 1 tsp blueberry jam, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
