INGREDIENTS

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 💧 ¼ cup water
    • 🥚 8 large eggs
    • 🧈 ¾ cup butter, melted

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 8 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🍚 ½ cup white sugar
    • 🍚 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 🍋 2 lemons, zested
    • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • For Frying

    • 6 cups vegetable oil

STEPS

1

Mix together water and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 15 minutes.

2

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 with a dish towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

3

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.

4

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.
