Lime doughnuts with condensed milk
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Even if you're not fond of baking, you won't be able to resist these golden, fragrant doughnuts. Tender, soft, and fluffy with a subtle lime aroma, they're perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. However, you should fry the doughnuts just before your family arrives—otherwise, they'll snatch them up the moment they come out of the pan (that's exactly what happens at my place).
