Those mini doughnuts are just amazing! There is just one thing! You really do need to have a lemon curd - you can make it yourself or buy it and with that those fluffy, yummy doughnuts are such a lovely refreshing snack!

Hmmm…. Just yum! Perfect for few mini treats throughout the day ;)

Recipe comes as always at this case from Thermomix, but it is a must try!

Ingredients:

150g of plain flour

150g of ricotta cheese

100g of brown sugar

1x egg

50g of milk

2x teaspoons of baking powder

1/4 of lemon zest (just the yellow part!)

pinch of salt

oil for frying - min is 1l

some icing sugar and cinnamon for dusting

Take a deep pan and pour oil into a pan and heat it up.

In the meantime mix all the ingredients together until well combine with a hand mixer.
When oil is nice and hot. Using a spoon start taking bits of pastry straight into oil. Keep repeating until your pan is full.

In the meantime prepare a tray and line it with kitchen paper.

Bake until lovely and gold for few minutes on each side. Then remove on prepared tray to drain from oil.
Then move to a proper plate and sprinkle with some icing sugar mixed with cinnamon.

Serve with some lemon curs for extra freshness! Yum!

P.S. Goes so well with coffee! Yum!
