Cooking Directions
-
Mix together water and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 15 minutes.
-
Combine flour, eggs, butter, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture. Knead by hand until dough comes together. Cover the bowl with a dish towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
-
Roll out dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Cut out diamond-shaped doughnuts using a small pastry wheel cutter. Brush off excess flour.
-
Heat oil in a deep saucepan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook doughnuts in batches in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter.
Tips
To test if the oil is hot enough, dip in 1 piece of dough and observe the change of color. The color should change very quickly.
