Directions

In bowl of stand mixer with dough hook attached, whisk yeast, flour, sugar, lime zest and salt; add eggs, milk, lime juice and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed 4 minutes or until a shaggy dough forms (dough will be lumpy but not dry), scraping bowl with rubber spatula.
With mixer on low speed, add the butter in 2 additions; increase speed to medium. Knead dough 5 minutes or until smooth and shiny; dough should pull away from sides of bowl and climb up dough hook. If necessary, add 1 to 2 tablespoons flour and knead 1 minute or just until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
Spray large bowl with cooking spray; shape dough into a ball. Transfer dough to prepared bowl, turning to coat both sides with cooking spray; cover with clean, damp kitchen towel. Let stand in warm place 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; lightly dust with flour. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface; roll dough ¼-inch thick. Cut out rounds with floured 2½-inch round biscuit cutter, twisting cutter to release dough after cutting; transfer to prepared cookie sheets. Gather dough scraps and reroll to cut out additional rounds; cover with damp towel. Let stand in warm place 30 minutes or until rounds have risen to about ½-inch.
Attach candy thermometer to side of 4-quart saucepot. Fill pot with 2 inches of oil; heat oil to 355°. Carefully add 2 to 3 dough rounds to hot oil; cook 2 to 4 minutes or until golden, turning once halfway through cooking. With slotted spoon, transfer donuts to paper towel-lined cookie sheets to drain. Repeat process to cook remaining dough rounds, adding more oil to pot if necessary and reheating to 355°; cool 5 minutes.
Cut small, deep slit in top of each donut with sharp paring knife, being careful not to cut through bottoms of donuts. Fill pastry bag fitted with ¼-inch round piping tip (or large, zip-top plastic freezer bag and snip off ¼-inch of bottom corner) with preserves; insert piping tip into slit in each donut and squeeze bag while slowly pulling out tip; dust top of donuts with powdered sugar, if desired.
