Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Dry yeast
- 50 grams Caster sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 25 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 100 grams Jam (your choice of flavor)
- 20 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, caster sugar, and salt.
Heat the low-fat milk until lukewarm and melt the butter in the milk. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the cooled milk and butter mixture along with the lemon zest.
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
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.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal parts. Shape each part into a small ball.
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.
Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Using a pastry bag fitted with a small nozzle, fill each doughnut with about a tablespoon of jam.
Dust the doughnuts lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
