- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

Langkah-langkah
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter and sugar. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and stir in the flour. Stir until the mixture forms a ball. Move the batter to a medium bowl and let cool.
Use an electric mixer to beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add lemon extract and a pinch of salt.
Fill a medium pot with about 3 inches of canola or vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 375 degrees. See Recipe Notes below if you don't have a thermometer to check the temperature.
Drop the doughnut batter into the hot oil by teaspoon (no bigger than an actual teaspoon because they will puff up a lot while cooking). You can fry about 15 doughnuts at a time. Fry until they are lightly browned all around. Remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to drain.
Roll in sugar while the doughnuts are still warm, and serve immediately.
