The key to nice and fluffy donuts is a warm place to where you make donuts. So before you start baking, make sure your kitchen is really warm.
Mix yeast, 6 tablespoons of warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 spoon of milk together and put it in a warm place for around 15 minutes until it raises.
Mix all of the wet ingredients together.
In a separate bowl sift flour. Then add salt, lemon zest, coconut sugar, turmeric and mix it well together.
Make a hole in the middle and add wet ingredients.
Mix it all together into a smooth dough( for about 15 minutes). Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about half an hour.
When the dough is ready cut it into 16 pieces and form each one into a ball. Cover them or put in the oven on 30°C to rise.
Then warm up the oil. You can check if the oil temperature is ok with a toothpick, put it in the oil and see if little bubbles start to form around it, this means it is the right temperature(if there are many bubbles it may be too hot). During the process lower the temperature of oil to 1/3.
Put the donut in oil and imediatelly cover the pot with a lid. Fry them for around 3 minutes and then turn around and fry 3 more minutes on the other side. This time don't cover them with lid.
When the donut is fryed put it on a tray and put some paper towels under so that the oil can drip from the donut. Let it rest for a few minutes.
Then fill it with jam. Cover with powdered sugar and enjoy!
