Neto Doughnuts

Mix together flour, sugar, butter, eggs, yeast, salt, vanilla and enough water to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured board and cut dough into 10 equal pieces. Shape the pieces into balls. Place the balls on a floured board, dust lightly with flour, and cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Allow to rise 1 1/2 hours in a warm place.

Pour at least 3 inches of oil into a Dutch oven, or use a deep fryer. Heat oil to 355 degrees F. Fry 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time. Cook about 3 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Remove with skimmer and drain on paper towels.

Fill doughnuts with a pastry bag or spoon, using about 2 teaspoons of jam per doughnut, or to taste. Sift confectioners' sugar over doughnuts before serving.
