Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or heat oil to 350°F if frying.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
In a small bowl, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Take about a tablespoon of dough, flatten slightly, add a dab of cheesecake filling and a bit of strawberry jam in the center, and seal it into a ball.
Bake in a mini muffin tin for 10–12 minutes or fry for 2–3 minutes until golden.
Optional: Roll warm donut holes in melted butter, then in cinnamon sugar.

Notes

Chill the filling slightly for easier stuffing.

Substitute raspberry jam for a different fruity twist.

These are best fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days.
