Gather all ingredients. First warm your milk, not hot just warm to the touch, Add the yeast stir very well to dissolve lumps. Cover and let rest. Next put flour,salt in a bowl and mix. Next in another bowl mix egg and sugar until sugar in dissolved. Check the yeast n milk and when bubbly add to the egg n sugar mixture. Mix well.

Butter should be soft not melted.

In the flour make a well. Add the milk and butter and mix it well until it all comes together.

The consistency should be just slightly sticky and soft and if you put your thumb into it, the imprint will stay. Like below 👇 notice how just a tiny bit stuck to my thumb but did not stay. Perfect 👍 Time for the arm workout, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes and then cover n rest for 10-12 minutes.

Cut ur dough into 12 portions and make equal size balls by pulling taking the outer edge bring into the center like below into a ball. Now you will take each ball and degas them by doing exactly the same as below flatten the ball and repeat the process of bringing in the edge into the center to form ball again. Let rest 15 minutes. Lightly put flour on your hand so they don’t stick to you and shape how you like. Cover and rest 45 minutes. They should be fluffy and we’re ready to fry.

The pot should be large enough to pour oil in and they don’t touch the bottom. They should float while frying n not touch each other. Oil should be 350F or 175C using a candy thermometer if you have. Or when you drop the doughnuts in they should take about 1-1.5 minute to brown before flipping. If they brown too fast they will be gummy inside. important to maintain temp. Since I don’t have thermometer I test one first and make sure it takes one min to brown. My lowest heat still too high.

After 1-1-5 min when they are a light brown flip it over. We don’t want them touching the side of the pot. Take out when golden on both sides and lay on a plate with paper or old towel to get the oil. While hot I dipped mine in cinnamon sugar 😋 decorate as you wish and enjoy 😊.
