Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup of whole milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan or use a silicone donut mold.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the lemon cream filling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until thick and smooth.
Once your donuts are completely cooled, use a piping bag or cut a small hole in the donut to stuff it with lemon cream filling.
Enjoy your delicious Lemon Donuts!
