My husband has a hankering for them, and living in the country we don't have easy access to them. I have googled and found some recipes, but if anyone has one they have actually tried I would be most grateful. TIA.

Someone posted this recipe the other day. I haven't tried it yet. JAM DOUGHNUTS My Mum used to make these ones - they are round, but no reason why you couldnt make them into finger doughnuts.
¼ cup (55g) caster sugar ¾ cup (185g) warm milk 2½ cups (375g) plain flour 1 sachet dried yeast (8g) pinch salt 3 egg yolks 100g butter, chopped coarsely ½ cup strawberry jam, warmed, sieved vegetable oil, for deep frying 1 cup (220g) caster sugar, extra
Combine sugar and milk in small jug; stir well to dissolve sugar.
Combine flour, yeast and salt in large bowl. Add milk mixture and egg yolks stirring well with a wooden spoon to combine.
Tip mixture onto a lightly floured bench; using hands knead dough until just smooth, about 2 minutes.
Knead butter into dough; one piece at a time, until incorporated and dough becomes glossy and very smooth. You will need to keep the bench lightly floured during this process.
Place dough in an oiled bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Stand in a warm place about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Divide dough into 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place on a baking tray; cover with plastic wrap and stand 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Place jam in small piping bag, fitted with a small plain piping nozzle.
Heat oil in wok or large saucepan to 190°C or 170°C fan-forced.
Add dough balls, a few at a time, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon to ensure they brown evenly. Cook until golden brown and floating, about 5 minutes.
Drain on absorbent paper before tossing in extra sugar. Pipe jam into the centre of each doughnut. Serve immediately

Why not try muffins that taste like doughnuts? 1 ¾ cups flour 1 ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ½ tsp nutmeg ¼ tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup oil ¾ cup sugar 1 egg ¾ cup milk
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
In another bowl, combine thoroughly the oil, sugar, egg and milk.
Add liquid ingredients to dry and stir only to combine.
Mix together: 1 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp cinnamon Sprinkle on top of individual muffins before baking.
Bake at 190 C (375 F) for 20 minutes.
(I spray my silicone muffin trays and after baking the muffins I leave them for 5 minutes after they come out of the oven before shaking them out.)

when i worked in a girls boarding school kitchen, we made a scone dough, cut into squares, pushed your thumb in the middle to makedent, then they were deep fried. cant see why you could do the same, then roll them in sugar and cinamon mix. The girls had bowls of golden syrup to dunk theirs in, tho that was stopped a few years back for obvious reasons...... gee i could really go some just now....all the syrup dripping down ya chin.....

Bread dough. baked = bun fried = doughnut.
There was a mould you could buy at the "open day's" years ago. They came with a recipe, it was a cake-like, mixture. They were deep fried, then you rolled them in cinnamon sugar. A staff member, bought one, used it a few times,then put in the back of the draw.
