    1. Warm the milk in a saucepan until lukewarm, about 100°F (38°C) — the microwave works too. 2. Stir two tablespoons of flour, the sugar, and the dry yeast into the warm milk. Leave it in a warm spot for half an hour. 3. Once the sponge is ready (a foamy cap forms), sift in the rest of the flour — sifting is a must to avoid lumps. 4. Add a pinch of salt, crack in the egg, and add the softened butter (take it out of the fridge ahead of time). 5. Knead the dough on the work surface — it's soft but shouldn't stick to your hands. Knead unhurriedly, about 10 minutes. 6. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for an hour in a warm, draft-free spot. 7. Roll the risen dough out to about 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick. Cut out circles with a glass, then punch a hole in the center of each with a bottle cap or similar. 8. Pour the oil into a narrow, deep pan and heat it. To test it, dip in a wooden skewer — bubbles should rise around it. 9. Fry a couple of doughnuts at a time until golden on both sides. They cook very fast, especially the second batch and beyond, so stay close to the stove. You can fry the cut-out centers, too. 10. Set the hot doughnuts on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. If you like, dust them with a mix of brown and white sugar — it looks pretty and appetizing. Enjoy!
