Preparation
Step 1
1. Mix yeast and ½ tsp. sugar with ½ cup warm water (110°F) in measuring cup.
Let stand 5 minutes, or until mixture foams and smells yeasty.
2. Whisk together flour, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and baking powder in large bowl.
Grease separate large bowl with oil.
3. Stir yeast mixture into flour mixture with wooden spoon until sticky dough forms.
Stir in 1 ½ tablespoons melted butter.
Turn dough out onto well-floured work surface, and knead 6 to 8 minutes, or until smooth, soft, elastic dough forms.
Add flour while kneading, if necessary.
Transfer to oiled bowl, cover with towel, and let rise in warm place 45 minutes to 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat oven to 350F.
Dust baking sheet with flour.
Roll dough out to 1/4-inch-thick round on well-floured work surface.
Cut 12 circles from dough with 3-inch round cutter.
Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rest 15 minutes.
5. Bake at 350F for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned and fluffy. Cool slightly on rack.
6. Poke small hole in side of each full doughnut with toothpick or wooden dowel.
Use pastry bag fitted with small round tip to fill each doughnut with margarita curd.
Alternatively, slice the doughnut in half horizontally, dip the bottom in sugar after buttering and spoon curd on then top with a sugared top (see next step).
7. Mix the ¼ cup sugar with orange zest until blended well.
Brush both sides of a doughnut with butter or lightly spray once on each side with non-stick spray then gently roll the doughnut in the sugar.
