  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, eggs, melted butter, and lemon zest; mix until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth.
  2. Let It Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about an hour).

  6. Fill: Use a piping bag to fill each bombolone with cooled pastry cream.
  7. Serve: Fry bomboloni in heated vegetable oil until golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
