Add 1 cup sugar to a bowl.

Pour in 1/2 cup warm water and mix until at least 80% of the sugar dissolves.

Add 2 teaspoons yeast to the sugar-water mixture and let it prove.

In another bowl, add 4 cups flour.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them properly.

Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the whisked eggs.

Pour in the yeast mixture once it is foamy and active.

Mix everything together, then gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup warm water bit by bit until the dough is moderately soft and a little stretchy.

Transfer the dough to a table and add 2 tablespoons butter.

Knead the dough for at least 20 minutes by hand or 15 minutes if using a mixer until it is stretchy and light.

Roll out the dough into pillow donut shapes.

If desired, use a piping tip to create a hole in the center of the donut.

Place the donuts on a floured baking paper and let them rise for 15 to 30 minutes, ensuring they do not overproof.

Heat oil in a pan on moderate heat for frying.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the donuts to the oil, frying them on low heat.

Fry each donut for about 1 minute, checking them before turning to ensure even cooking.

Once the underside is golden, turn the donuts over to fry the other side until they are cooked through and the white line is visible.
