Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine all Wet Ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out to inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out donuts.
Place donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts for 60-90 seconds per side, until golden brown.
Remove donuts from oil and place on a wire rack to cool.
While donuts are cooling, prepare the Lemon Glaze. Whisk together all Lemon Glaze ingredients until smooth.
Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set.
