Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips:

Add a lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle it over the cooled donuts for extra flavor.
These donuts freeze well; just warm them up in the microwave for a quick treat.
