Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1½ tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ½ cup soy milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 flax egg
• ¼ cup vegan margarine
• Glaze:
• 240g icing sugar
• 60ml soy milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• In a large bowl, mix sugar and lemon zest with your fingers, releasing all the oils from the zest. Then add all other dry ingredients with a whisk to mix thoroughly.
• Combine the wet ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat and mix until the margarine is just melted. This mixture should be just slightly warm to the touch.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix until just combined. It should form a very soft dough.
• Using a tablespoon or a piping bag, transfer dough into a slightly greased nonstick doughnut pan. Smooth out the top of each dough with your fingers.
• Bake for 12 minutes. They should not be browned on top, but a toothpick will come out clean.
• Invert the hot pan over a cutting board or cooling rack to release the doughnuts. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
• For the Glaze:
• Combine the glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk until the glaze is smooth. Remove from heat and immediately begin dunking the donuts, one by one, into the lemon glaze.
