Warm milk to 105º F and add the yeast and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Allow sitting for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients including the remaining sugar (not the powdered sugar) and whisk to blend.
Add the warm milk mixture, butter, and eggs. Mix well.

Cover the donuts loosely with plastic wrap. Place in the preheated warm oven and keep the door cracked open. Let the dough rise for 45 minutes.
While rising, heat light oil in a cast-iron skillet or fryer. You want the oil to be around 375º F.
When the oil is hot, add some of the dough circles.
Cook about 4-5 minutes on each side. Let the donuts get golden brown on each side.
Remove and place on a paper towel covered plate to absorb extra oil.
Optional: roll in powdered sugar to coat each donut.
Fill a squirt bottle with jelly or jam. Squeeze jam into each donut.
Enjoy!
