For 12 portions

Ingredients

300 g plain flour
10 g baking powder
250 g plain yogurt
70 g granulated sugar
150 ml milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Oil for frying
Sugar for coating

Preparation procedure

Dough: In a bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until light and frothy. Add the plain yogurt, milk and lemon zest. In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and gradually add it to the liquid mixture. Stir until smooth, a slightly thick batter.
Frying: Heat a larger amount of oil in a pan or deep fryer. Using a teaspoon, shape small doughnuts from the batter and carefully place them into the oil. Fry on both sides until golden – approximately 2 minutes on each side.
Finishing: Let the finished mini-doughnuts drain on a paper towel and then, while still warm, roll them in sugar. Serve ideally fresh, while they are nice and crispy and moist inside.
