Ingredients
1/4
cup margarine, melted
1
1/4 cups water (room temperature)

powdered sugar (as much as desired)
Directions
1.
1. To prepare the dough:
7.
Mix well, cover, and wait until it rises.
10.
1/4 cup melted margarine,
14.
Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture. Slowly and steadily add the water while stirring. When batter is smooth good consistency with no lumps, cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit and rise.
15.
2. To make the doughnuts: After the batter has risen, pour it onto a floured surface and roll it out. Cut out circles in the dough (a cookie cutter or even a glass will work).
16.
Place a drop of jelly in the middle of each circle, and then cover with another circle of dough. Make sure that 2 circles attach well to form a closed ball with jelly in the middle. I usually like to pinch the sides together
17.
Cover the doughnuts with a towel and let rise.
18.
3. To fry the doughnuts: Heat oil in a deep pot until very hot. Drop the doughnuts into the oil and fry on both sides until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
19.
These are only good fresh. After you make the dough, only cook as many as you are serving. Store the rest of the dough in the refrigerator.
