Iced Lemon Ricotta Donuts
- FOR THE DONUTS:
- 2 cups Flour
- 3/4 cups Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/2 cups Ricotta Cheese
- 2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- 1/4 cups Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
- FOR THE ICING:
- 2 Tablespoons Milk Or Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
- 1-1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- For the donuts:
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F and grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, olive oil, milk, lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Pipe or spoon the donut batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity almost to the top.
- Bake at 350u0b0F for 12-14 minutes, until the tops of the donuts spring back when touched. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the donuts to a cooling rack. Use the remaining dough to fill the donut pan to make 6 more donuts.
- Cool the donuts completely before icing.
- For the icing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, lemon juice and lemon zest. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar, and continue whisking until combined. (Note: If the icing is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk.)
- Dip each donut into the icing, then return to the cooling rack.
- Let the icing set before enjoying!
