Doughnuts with Yogurt

To prepare these delicious fluffy donuts, start by taking a large bowl and adding the yogurt. It is essential that the yogurt is at room temperature to achieve a smooth mixture. Add the beaten eggs, the rum essence that will give an aromatic flavor, the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla sugar. A pinch of salt will enhance the flavors. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix the ingredients well, ensuring everything is perfectly homogenized.

Once the mixture is well homogenized, start adding the freshly sifted flour along with the baking powder. It is important to sift the flour to avoid lumps in the dough. Mix quickly and energetically, so that the composition becomes smooth and has a consistency similar to thick cream. If you notice that the dough is too thick, you can add a little yogurt or milk to thin it out.

In a deep pan, heat a generous amount of oil. Test the oil temperature by adding a drop of the mixture; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready for frying. Using a teaspoon, take portions of the dough and carefully introduce them into the hot oil. It is important not to overcrowd the pan, so the donuts have enough space to cook evenly.

The donuts fry quickly, so be attentive to when you need to turn them. Usually, they turn themselves, but if they don’t, help them with a spatula or a fork. Fry them until they become golden and crispy on both sides. Once ready, remove the donuts with a spatula and place them on absorbent napkins to remove excess oil. If the oil is well heated, the donuts will not absorb too much oil, remaining light and fluffy.

While still warm, dust them with powdered vanilla sugar, which will melt easily, giving them an attractive appearance and a sweet taste. These donuts can be served both warm and cold, remaining just as delicious regardless of the temperature at which they are consumed. Their soft and fluffy texture, along with the aroma of rum and lemon, makes them irresistible. We invite you to enjoy these donuts in the company of loved ones, whether it’s for a special breakfast or a savory dessert. ENJOY YOUR MEAL!
