Instructions
- Heat the milk and water until lukewarm, then whisk in the yeast and let it stand until bubbly.
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, softened vegan butter, and the yeast mixture in a stand mixer and mix until combined.
- Form a ball from the dough, place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, wrap it, and chill for an hour.
- Prepare the vegan butter by flattening it between parchment paper into an 8-by-8-inch square.
- Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-by-12-inch square, place the butter square on top, and fold the corners over to seal it.
- Roll the dough into a 20-by-8-inch rectangle, fold it into thirds, and chill for 45 minutes, repeating this process two more times.
- After the final fold, roll out the dough into a 6-by-18-inch rectangle and cut it into donut shapes.
- Let the donuts rise for about 30 minutes, then chill them in the freezer.
- Heat oil to 350ºF and fry the donuts in batches until golden brown.
- Prepare the filling by blending the cream cheese and blackberry jam until smooth, then fill the donuts.
- Mix the glaze ingredients and either drizzle or dip the donuts in the glaze before letting them dry.
