They are so good, just a light citrus flavor and I can’t eat donuts without cardamom anymore, I live the flavor!
I was afraid to try and usually my mother in law makes the donuts but we couldn’t be there this year, so I got a separate induction hob and gave it a whirl. These are really simple to make.
We have a gas stove and I am afraid of fire so, the separate hob was necessary

I poured myself a cup of coffee and this post showed up. Its a sign from the universe. I’ll take 1 please!
1 Tbsp coarsely ground cardamom. If using finely ground I would use a teaspoon or less
About one kilogram of all-purpose flour
About 75g butter, very soft
For frying, About 1 quart of oil, depending on the size of your pot.
Dussolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk. There is no need to proof the yeast, just continue with the instructions below.
Add the cardamom, salt, and eggs and whisk til well combined.
Add the flour in 2 or three batches, kneading the dough in the bowl until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add the softened butter and knead it in. The dough will be very soft.
Let rise, covered, until doubled in size in a warm place. This should take about one hour.
Turn the dough out and knead to remove any air pockets. Form the dough into 2 or three pieces and portion into 20-25 balls. Place these on parchment paper and cover with a cloth to rise for about half an hour.
Slightly flatten and pierce a hole into each donut, and stretch it out so that the hole is 3-4 cm.
Fry the donuts in 180C oil, turning once, 1-2 minutes on each side until nice and brown.
Drain on paper towels.
While still warm, roll in sugar and serve on the same day. These will freeze but freeze them without the sugar topping.
I used the zest of one lemon to flavor about half of the total sugar I used in the recipe.

50g fresh yeast or 2 packets of dry yeast
5 dl milk (a little over 2 cups)
2 dl sugar
2 tsp salt (I used one)
1 Tbsp coarsely ground cardamom. If using finely ground I would use a teaspoon or less

Happy Labour Day!
Donuts count as baking.
Your donuts are not baking, they’re art
They look perfect
