2 cups Greek yogurt 400 grams (or non-dairy yogurt for a parve version)

Heat the oil: Pour oil into a large pot and heat to 365°F (use a thermometer to maintain temperature).
Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, eggs, sugar, yogurt, salt, and lemon zest. Mix until the dough is smooth. It should be neither too thick nor runny.
Scoop the dough: Use a mini scooper or a spoon coated with oil for easy release. This helps make uniform donut holes.
Fry the donuts: Drop the dough into the hot oil, rotating the donuts as they fry to ensure even cooking. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain: Remove the donut holes from the oil and set on a wire rack to ensure them crispy.
Dust and serve: Generously dust the donuts with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite jelly.
Enjoy!
