Add the butter and lemon extract to the bowl containing the dry ingredients and mix together thoroughly until combined
Add the rest of the batter ingredients to the bowl and whisk together until fully combined
Grease a doughnut tray with olive oil (or melted butter if preferred)
Carefully spoon the batter evenly into the doughnut tray
Bake for 10-12 minutes (until golden)
Once cooked, remove the doughnuts from the oven and leave in the doughnut tray to cool (this should take about 10 minutes)
