Orange and Vanilla Yogurt Doughnuts Recipe

Ingredients:

• • 1 egg
  • Pinch of salt

• • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • Zest of one orange
  • 70 ml of vegetable oil

• • 125 g of vanilla yogurt
  • Approximately 400 g of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

• • Apricot jam (optional, for filling)
  • Coconut flour (for dusting)
  • Additional vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • • In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt.
     • Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and the zest of one orange. Mix well.
     • Pour in 70 ml of vegetable oil and 125 g of vanilla yogurt. Stir until well combined.
   • Gradually add approximately 400 g of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, add more flour to achieve the right consistency.
2. Shape the Doughnuts:
   • • Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
   • Use a doughnut cutter or two different-sized round cutters to cut out doughnut shapes. If you don’t have a doughnut cutter, you can use a glass or cookie cutter to cut out circles and a smaller cutter or bottle cap to cut out the center holes.
3. Fry the Doughnuts:
   • • Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
   • • Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully place the doughnuts into the oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
     • Fry the doughnuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
     • Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

4. Fill and Dust (Optional):
   • • If desired, fill a piping bag with apricot jam. Make a small hole in the side of each doughnut and pipe a small amount of jam into the center.
     • Dust the doughnuts with coconut flour for an extra touch of sweetness and texture.

5. Serve:
   • • Allow the doughnuts to cool slightly before serving.
     • Enjoy your homemade Orange and Vanilla Yogurt Doughnuts warm or at room temperature.
