Combine warm milk and sugar in a bowl; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

Mix flour and salt in a large bowl; create a well in the center.

Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter into the well; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick; cut into circles using a cookie cutter.

Place a spoonful of jelly in the center of half the circles; top with remaining circles and seal the edges.

Let the filled doughnuts rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C); carefully fry the doughnuts until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels; dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving.
