Orange Doughnuts
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Would any of you really refuse delicious and aromatic homemade baked goods, even if they're these fried doughnuts? I don't think so! After all, we don't eat such "unhealthy food" three times a day, or even every week :) So let's treat ourselves and make something tasty for tea. The recipe is not complicated, everything is very simple. The baked goods are ready. Serve them at the table.
