Method
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pot to 180°C (350°F).
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter.
- Carefully drop the doughnuts into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts and transfer them to a cooling rack.
- While still warm, dust with powdered sugar and top with mixed berries before serving.

Notes
For a healthier twist, try substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
If you have leftover doughnuts, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in a warm oven to restore their texture before serving.
Get creative and feel free to experiment with different berry combinations or even a citrus glaze!
