1. In the mixing bowl of a food processor, combine milk, powdered sugar, dry yeast and lemon zest.
2. Sift flour and salt into the bowl and knead well for about 10 minutes.
3. Cover the bowl with a cloth/clear plastic wrap
   and let rise in a warm place for 60 minutes until doubled in volume.
4. Dust the work surface with a little flour and knead the dough briefly on it.
5. Cut the dough into 10 pieces (about 90g each) and form them into even balls.
6. Cover the dough balls with and let rise for another 30 minutes until doubled in volume.
7. Put oil in a pot and heat to 180°C.
   Carefully place the dough balls in the hot oil.
   The side that was on top during preparation should now be at the bottom of the oil.
   Cover the pot with a lid.
   (Use a thermometer. If the oil is too hot, everything will burn, if the oil is too cold, the fat will be absorbed into the doughnuts.)
8. Fry for 3 minutes, then turn doughnuts and fry for another 3 minutes. This time without a lid.
9. Remove from fat with a ladle and place on paper towel or cooling rack.
10. Place jam or custard in a piping bag and pipe into the doughnuts.
    Use a skewer or chopstick to poke a hole in the side of the doughnuts.
    Sprinkle with powdered sugar at the end.
