Instructions

1. Warm the milk until just warm to the touch, about 110°F (I heated it for 1 minute in the microwave).
2. Stir the yeast into the milk and let it rest for 2 minutes.
3. Add the sugar, salt, melted butter and egg and whisk together. Then add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a dough.
4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough, place it on a floured board and cut it into 24 equal pieces.
6. Roll one piece into a 13-inch rope, twist it in opposite directions, then press the ends together to form a ring. Place on a large tray and repeat with the rest.
7. Let the rings rise for about 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Meanwhile, start heating the oil on high.
8. Heat the oil to about 350°F, which takes 8 to 10 minutes, then lower the heat to medium-low.
9. Fry the doughnuts in batches without overcrowding, flipping once when the first side is golden brown. Remove when both sides are golden, about 4 minutes in total, and drain on paper towels.
10. Optionally, shake the hot doughnuts in a paper bag with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to coat.
