Steps to doughnut delight:

1. Activate the yeast:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, signaling that the yeast is active.

2. Mix the dough:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, beaten eggs, and melted butter.
• Mix everything together until a soft dough forms. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash of milk.

3. Knead the dough:

• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic.
• Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

4. Shape the doughnuts:

• Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it to about 1/2 inch thickness.
• Use a doughnut cutter or a large and a small round cutter to cut out doughnut shapes. Place the cut doughnuts and doughnut holes onto a floured tray, leaving space between them.
• Cover them with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until they puff up.

5. Fry to perfection:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the doughnuts in the oil, not overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown.
• Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in sugar and milk powder and fill them with your cream filling using a piping bag.

There you have it, your very own homemade milky doughnuts! Enjoy them filled with delectable creams, these treats are sure to make you forget about the store-bought versions. Happy baking!
