  • Add the eggs one at time scraping down after each one and beat until well combined.
  • In another bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter.
  • Add the vanilla and lemon juice and beat until smooth. Scrape down.
  • Finally add the zest and milk and mix until smooth.
  • Spoon the batter into each donut space in the pan and bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes.
  • Let cool for two minutes and then dump them out. Repeat the procedure until all of the batter has been used.
