Warm water
1/4 cup (Use for activating yeast)
Warm milk
1 cup (Use for dough mix)
Caster sugar
1/4 cup (Combine with yeast)
Butter, melted
60 g (Melt and let cool slightly)
Eggs, lightly beaten
2 (Prepare for mixing into dough)
Plain flour
3 3/4 cups (Sift before measuring)
Grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon (For flavor enhancement)
Egg white
1, lightly beaten (For brushing dough)
Raspberry jam
1/2 cup (Approximately, for filling)
Oil for deep-frying
As needed (Heat for frying)
Extra caster sugar

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine the dried yeast, warm water, warm milk, and caster sugar. Cover the bowl with a cloth and allow it to sit in a warm place for about 10 minutes or until the mixture is frothy.
2
Stir together the melted butter and lightly beaten eggs into the yeast mixture until well combined.
3
Sift the plain flour into a large mixing bowl and stir in the yeast mixture along with the grated lemon rind. Mix the ingredients together until they form a soft dough.
4
Cover the dough with a cloth and place it in a warm area. Allow it to rise for about 45 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
5
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the risen dough onto it. Knead the dough for approximately 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
6
Roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick and use a round cutter (approximately 5 cm in diameter) to cut out dough circles.
7
Brush the edges of half the dough rounds with the beaten egg white. Place about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of each of these rounds, then top with the remaining rounds. Pinch the edges together securely to seal.
8
Re-roll the remaining dough, cut out additional rounds, and repeat the egg white and jam filling process until all dough and jam are used.
9
Cover the filled doughnuts loosely with oiled plastic wrap and allow them to rise in a warm area for about 10 minutes, or until they are almost doubled in size.
10
In a deep frying pan, heat oil to a suitable frying temperature. Carefully lower the doughnuts into the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown, turning them once for even cooking.
11
Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain them on absorbent paper. While they are still warm, toss them in extra caster sugar to coat.
