about 2 inches apart. Loosely cover doughnuts with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray; let rise in warm place 30 to 40 minutes or until slightly risen.
    4 In 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy 3-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches oil to 325°F over medium heat. Cover cooling rack with paper towels. Fry doughnuts in oil, 4 or 5 at a time, about 1 minute per side, until golden brown on both sides. Remove from oil with slotted spoon to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
    5 Fill decorating bag fitted with writing tip (¼-inch opening) with lemon curd. To fill each doughnut, while holding doughnut in hand, insert tip into side of doughnut. Slowly squeeze about 1 tablespoon lemon curd into center until you feel the doughnut plump up, moving tip from one side to the other to completely fill doughnut. Sprinkle filled doughnuts with powdered sugar.

    bake smart You can make the dough the night before. Instead of letting it rise in a warm place for the first rise, place the covered bowl in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Then continue as directed in the recipe.
    Try to keep the oil temperature as constant as possible. Too cool, and the doughnuts will absorb more oil and take longer to cook. Too hot, and the doughnuts will get done on the outside too quickly, leaving the centers still doughy. It will take about 20 minutes to heat the oil to 325°F.
    These doughnuts can be filled with a variety of fillings. Try lime curd or any flavor of jelly.
