Ingredients

For the Donuts:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar, we used Dixie Crystals
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 6 ounces sour cream
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil

• 3 tablespoons milk

• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1 Wilton key lime decorating icing
• 1/4 cup toasted coconut
• 2-3 tablespoons of crushed graham crackers

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare your donut pan by greasing and then lightly flouring.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In your stand mixer, beat the eggs. Add the sour cream, oil, vanilla and milk and beat again. Add the key lime juice and lime zest and beat again.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time. Once added, mix on medium speed about a minute.
5. Add the batter to a piping bag and pipe the batter into each cavity of the donut pan about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool in pan 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire cooling wrack and cool completely.
