Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the flour and sugar while adding the milk gradually.
- Pour into double boiler and cook over high heat, stirring until the mixture reaches the texture of wallpaper paste.
- Add coffee, cover, and chill.
- Soften butter to room temperature and whip it.
- Gradually add cold, stiff mocha cream and mix well.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using flavored fruit juices like raspberry or cherry instead of regular juice. If you don't have instant coffee, brewed coffee can be used for a stronger taste, but adjust the liquid accordingly. If you prefer a lighter doughnut, use Angel Biscuits (Self-Rising Flour) instead of regular flour for a fluffier texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different filling than jelly?
Absolutely! You can fill Soofganiya with pastry cream, chocolate ganache, or even custard for a unique twist. Just ensure that the filling is not too runny to avoid making the doughnut soggy.
How can I make these doughnuts healthier?
To make Soofganiya healthier, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also reduce the sugar in both the dough and filling, or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
What is the best way to serve these doughnuts?
These doughnuts are best served warm or at room temperature. Consider drizzling them with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and fruit juice for added sweetness, or serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
