10-Minute Yogurt-Infused Donuts
Ingredients:
- 250-300 g all-purpose flour
- 250 g yogurt
- 150 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 70 g sugar (about 5 tablespoons)
- 10 g baking powder
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Sugar (for garnishing)
Instructions:
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg until well combined. Add the yogurt, milk, and lemon zest, mixing well until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps—do not overmix! The batter should be thick but pourable.
Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large frying pan and heat it over medium-low heat. To test the oil’s temperature, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is ready.
Form the donuts: There are two methods to form the donuts:
Spoonful: Dip two spoons in the hot oil, then scoop up a rounded spoonful of dough. Gently slide the dough into the oil.
Piping bag: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the batter directly into the hot oil in donut shapes.
Fry the donuts: Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Drain and coat: Transfer the fried donuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. While still warm, roll the donuts in granulated sugar for a delicious coating.
Enjoy! Serve your delicious yogurt donuts warm.
