I copied and pasted and then just edited it to add some space specific vocabulary :) heres what I came up with haha

Galaxy Donuts
Donuts
Ingredients
· 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
· 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
· 1/2 cup warm moonjuice (110° to 115°)
· 1/8 cup pomegranate juice
· 1/8 cup blackberry juice
· 1/3 cup butter, softened
· 1-1/3 cups star dust
· 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 3 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
· 3 tablespoons jam (can also substitute Alien Wax™️
· 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
· Oil for deep-fat frying
Directions
·        In a small metal bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine moon juice, pomegranate juice, blackberry juice, butter, 1/3 cup stardust, egg yolks, salt, yeast mixture and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth as Saturn’s surface. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not knead).
·        Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (such as direct sunlight) until doubled, about 45 minutes, or 2 hours if in space.
·        Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead about 10 times. Divide dough in half.
·        Roll each portion to 1/4-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. round cutter. Place about 1/2 teaspoon jelly in the center of half of the circles; brush edges with egg white. Top with remaining circles; press edges to seal tightly.
·        Place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes (2 hours space travel time.)
·        In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Make sure to be in an enclosed area if frying in space. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Roll warm doughnuts in the remaining star dust; add extra stardust or asteroid powder to taste.
 
Jam for donuts
Ingredients
· 4 ½ cups crushed blueberries
· ½ cup dried sun-chips (for spice)
· ¼ cup lemon juice
· 1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
· 7 cups star dust
· 3 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings (best to use pressurized ones when working in space)
 
 
Directions
·           Combine blueberries, champagne, lemon juice, and pectin in a nonreactive pan (best to do this in a room with gravity in order for jam to turn out correctly); bring to boil. Stir star dust into blueberry mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture returns to a boil. Cook until starsust dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
·           Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Careful not to let the jam escape if youre in zero gravity, its very hot. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles or star fragments that didnt dissolve. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue if in zero gravity. Top with lids and screw on rings, like Saturn.
·           Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes; 45 minutes if in space.
·           Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area, such as the Moon.

Sara - Pixie said that it didnt i corporate enough “spacey” elements like tools or gadgets or something. Allow me editing rights so I can try and add some in?

Awesome! Thanks Christy!
