Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- 8 eggs
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 lemons, zested
- 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
Method
- Mix water and yeast together in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 15 minutes.
- Combine flour, eggs, butter, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl; add yeast mixture. Knead by hand until dough comes together. Cover with a clean dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
- Roll out dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Cut into diamond shapes using a small pastry wheel cutter. Brush off excess flour.
- Heat oil in a deep saucepan or wok. Cook doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter.
