Get all your ingredients ready: 4 eggs, 6 tablespoons of sugar, 3 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 12 ounces of vanilla yogurt, oil for frying, and optional confectioners sugar and jam.

Measure and add 6 tablespoons of sugar into a bowl.

Measure and add 3 cups of flour into the bowl (using 6 half-cup measures).

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the dry ingredients and mix together.

In a separate bowl, crack 4 eggs and whisk them until they are a solid yellow.

Add 12 ounces (1.5 cups) of vanilla yogurt to the eggs and mix until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until combined, using a mixer on low speed to avoid flour spillage.

Scoop a glob of dough with a spoon and drop it into the hot oil for frying.

Fry the dough until it turns golden brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, then remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Fill a Ziploc bag with jam, cut a small tip off, and use it to inject jam into the fried donuts.

Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
