Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 3 6-hole doughnut tins with softened butter and dust lightly with flour , set aside.

In liquid measuring cup used to measure buttermilk, whisk lemon juice with buttermilk . Working in 3 separate batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, add 1/3 of the flour mixture alternating with 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture and mixing just until combined after each addition. Pour mixture into piping bag and pipe mixture into prepared doughnut wells, filling within about 1/3-inch of the top rim. Bake in preheated oven until toothpick comes out clean, about 7 - 8 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then invert onto a wire rack to cool. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and 3 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice to make glaze.
