1

Add 1.5 cups of warm milk to a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of grated nutmeg to the flour mixture.

Mix the dry ingredients well before adding the yeast mixture.

Knead the dough for about 15 minutes until it becomes uniform and elastic.

8

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until it increases in size.

Cut the risen dough into desired sizes and mold them into round shapes.

Use a bottle cap or your thumb to create a hole in the center of each doughnut.

11

Place the shaped doughnuts in a warm place to rise again until they increase in size.

Carefully drop the doughnuts into the hot oil for frying.
