In a stand mixer, add evaporated milk and yeast; leave to activate for a few minutes.

Once yeast is activated, add strong bread flour, egg yolks, sugar, and salt to the mixer; mix on low speed.

After a few minutes of mixing, add butter to the dough.

Continue mixing until dough has a 'wintery' look and stretches easily.

Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Deflate the dough and divide it into pieces of desired size.

Shape each piece into a round ball by pinching the sides and rotating in the palm of your hand.

Press each ball down gently to flatten slightly, leaving it thick.

Let the shaped doughnuts rest for 10 minutes before frying.

Prepare a piping tip or a bottle cap to create holes in the doughnuts if desired.

Heat oil for frying; ensure it's not too hot to avoid burning the doughnuts.

Fry the doughnuts in batches, 2 minutes on each side, flipping every minute to prevent burning.

Dust the fried doughnuts with vanilla sugar while still warm.
