Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Use a spoon or pastry bag to fill doughnut pan ¾ full with batter. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack before gently removing from each cavity. Bake any remaining batter repeating process.

While doughnuts cool, make frosting: whisk together remaining yogurt, sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. As soon as the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, frost.
