Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, lemon juice, melted butter, eggs, and lemon zest until well combined.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
5. Drop spoonfuls of the doughnut batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
7. While the doughnuts are still warm, toss them in powdered sugar until coated.
8. Fill a piping bag with lemon curd or jelly and inject a generous amount into each doughnut.
9. Serve the lemon-filled doughnuts warm and enjoy the zesty and sweet indulgence!
   Tips:

• Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying the doughnuts to ensure they cook evenly and don’t absorb too much oil.
• If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner snipped off to fill the doughnuts with lemon curd or jelly.
• Feel free to customize these doughnuts by adding your favorite glaze or topping before serving.
