Pin Recipe Instructions
- Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle. Warm milk lukewarm. Add the yeast and dissolve it with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Pour the yeast milk into the cavity and cover and let rise in a warm place for about 10 minutes.
- Add the rest of the sugar, egg yolk, butter, salt and lemon zest to the pre-dough and knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume (approx. 30 minutes).
- Knead the dough vigorously, cut in half and shape into 2 rolls. Then divide into 6 equal pieces, shape into balls and cover again for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil or fat to 180 ° C. Fry the dough balls in portions, turning them. Take out, drain and let cool (preferably on kitchen towels).
- Fill the jam into a piping bag with a small perforated nozzle, insert it into the side of the donuts and fill them with jam. Dust the donuts with powdered sugar or - if they are still slightly warm - turn them in normal sugar.
- Note: Cherry jam or plum jam can be used as a filling. Eggnog also offers a delicious variety.
About Editorial Staff
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
