Childhood Sandwich Donuts

These Homemade Peanut Butter and Jam Donuts are a Nostalgic Treat

These homemade peanut butter and jam sandwiches are expertly transformed into delicious sugar coated donuts by talented food blogger Joy the Baker. These donuts are ideal for children and nostalgic adults alike that enjoy the comfort and taste of this iconic sandwich.

These sandwich donuts begin with fresh brioche bread that is topped with a spoonful of peanut butter and jam directly into the centre of the square-sliced bread pieces. Before the sandwiches are fried and turned into donuts, they are coated in a batter made of egg, flour, milk and water to add a crispy crunch to the bread. Seconds after deep frying the sandwich donuts are rolled in a layer of sugar to replicate the texture of a sugar donut.
