Easy homemade Lemon Filled Doughnuts made completely from scratch. There’s nothing better than a warm fresh donut!
I’m a huge donut lover and I can often be spotted frequenting the local donut shops. Ever since I made the homemade lemon curd, I’ve been dying to make some doughnuts and use it as the filling. Boy was that a spectacular idea! These donuts were amazing. I made them on a Sunday afternoon. The kids were so excited to get some donuts and they anxiously helped through the entire process. We could hardly wait for them to cool! I ate 3 the following morning for breakfast. 3! The last 3 might I add. I just couldn’t help myself!
Now, what’s up with the spelling? I keep altering between doughnut and donut. Well, they are the same thing. The dictionary approves of doughnut, but donut is used about 1/3 of the time. I can’t decide what I like better so I keep alternating between the two for fun. Which spelling do you like better?

Just love your recipes and your videos… you must make everything here so approachable!! Also saw your post about yourgrey hairabd the thought behind this! By the way, you look very pretty and love the attitude about it!
could you use canned Lemon Pie filing exchange for curd?
I wouldn’t. Lemon pie filling and lemon curd are different textures, and lemon curd has a much more intense lemon flavor than pie filling.
Hi Rachel , do I have to use evaporated milk in this recipe?
Out of curiosity, what’s the reason for using melted shortening to fry them instead of oil?
Different fats fry things in different ways. Other oils will certainly fry them, but I prefer the melted shortening for donuts.
Divine!!! Nothing beats a hot homemade fluffy doughnut and that lemon curd….YUM
There is a donut shop in Connecticut that is using these pictures on their facebook page and implying that it is their product. If you like stayathomechef as much as I do please go to this facebook page and call them out for the frauds that they are:
