Preparation steps
1.
Dissolve the yeast and the sugar in the milk. Add the flour, egg, butter, salt and lemon zest and mix with a hand whisk with dough hook attachments to form a medium-firm dough. Knead until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl then cover and leave to rise in a warm place for around 1 hour.
2.
To make the filling, mix the apricots with the marmalade.
3.
Knead the dough well on a floured work surface and split into around 20 portions. Shape into balls, press flat and place a tbsp of jam in the middle. Reshape into balls. Cover and leave to rise for another 15 minutes.
4.
Fry the doughnuts on all sides in hot clarified butter (approx. 170°C) for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a draining spoon and pat dry with kitchen paper. Leave to cool.
5.
Serve dusted with icing sugar.
