- 20 grams Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, caster sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Heat the low-fat milk until lukewarm and melt the butter in the milk. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the cooled milk and butter mixture along with the lemon zest.
Step 4
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 5
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 8
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal parts. Shape each part into a small ball.
Step 9
Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with the damp cloth, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Step 10
Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 11
Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 12
Using a pastry bag fitted with a small nozzle, fill each doughnut with about a tablespoon of jam.
Step 13
Dust the doughnuts lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
