Preparation of the Lemon Donuts
In a bowl, pour the egg, water, stevia (or sugar), and oil, and beat vigorously with a spoon until you obtain a homogeneous emulsion.
Add the grated zest of an untreated lemon and mix it with the rest.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder by sifting them, then add them to the bowl with the liquids and stir with a spoon until you get a very soft and lump-free batter.
Oil and flour the donut pan, spoon the batter into it (the doses are perfect for 6 donuts), and gently tap the pan on the table to level the batter well.
Preheat the oven to 428°F (220°C) and once hot, bake and cook for 25 minutes. Once cooked, remove the lemon donuts from the oven.
Before removing the donuts from the pan, wait until they are completely cooled. Once cold, remove them and serve, perhaps accompanied by a slice of fresh lemon and some mint leaves!
