Ingredients

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • Zest of two lemons
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Dry
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose einkorn flour I use Jovial
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Icing
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Prepare two donut pans and grease them with butter or oil (I'm using a regular and a mini).
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients.
  • Sift the dry ingredients in through a medium sieve.
  • Fold the flour mixture gently, just to combine. Don't overmix.
  • You can use a small spoon and drop the batter onto the pans. Or to make it easier, transfer the batter into a pastry bag and pipe. Fill the openings with batter to about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. The donuts might look underdone on top but don't bake them longer, otherwise they'll become tough.
  • Cool on a wire rack and frost if desired.
  • To make icing, mix all ingredients with hand held mixer for a couple of minutes, place in a small plastic bag. Cut a tiny opening in the corner of the bag, and frost the lemon donuts.

  • I've only kept these donuts until the next day, but they seem to keep well in refrigerator.
