Stevia reduces calories significantly.

Sift 4 cups of flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter flavor to the flour and mix together.

Pour in 1/2 cup of sugar, reserving a little for later, and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

In a separate bowl, pour 1 tablespoon of yeast into 1/2 cup of milk and mix gently without shaking too much.

Set the yeast mixture aside to proof until bubbles form on top, indicating the yeast is alive.

Add the proofed yeast mixture, 1/2 cup of melted margarine, and 2 eggs to the flour mixture.

Mix until a soft dough forms, adjusting with more flour if the dough is too soft or more milk if too hard.

Knead the dough for about 45 minutes, then cover and let it rise for 15 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin.

Cut the dough into doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter or improvised tools like a bowl and a bottle lid.

Deep-fry the doughnuts until golden brown, though this step was not shown in detail due to safety concerns.
