Ingredients
- Dough:
- 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of rapid-rise yeast (standard package)
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup of warm milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- For frying: 6 cups of vegetable oil
- Filling:
- 3.4 oz box of vanilla pudding
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of lemon curd
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Topping:
- 1 cup of sugar
Instructions
- Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and rapid-rise yeast. Whisk together. Scatter the softened butter on top of the dry ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl, ensure the milk is at 110°F, then combine with eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together and add to the dry ingredients. Using a dough hook attachment, beat for 10-12 minutes until the dough forms. With oiled hands, knead the dough into a ball for a couple of minutes. Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and let it rise for 90 minutes in a warm place until it doubles in size. Punch the dough down and roll it out. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut the dough and place it on a baking sheet. Cover and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Prepare Oil: While the dough is rising, heat vegetable oil in a pot to 345°F.
- Make Filling: Combine instant pudding with milk until thickened. Stir in lemon curd and lemon zest.
- Frying: Fry the donuts for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Topping: Coat the donuts in sugar and fill them with lemon curd filling. Enjoy these delightful treats! 🍋🍩
