Soft and fluffy donuts made with buttermilk and a bright lemon glaze. A slight upgrade in flavor and texture.
Instructions
- 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 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 75-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out donuts.
- Place donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for another 45 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts for 75-90 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 and pourable.
- Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set.
