Ingredients

• 300 gr. strong wheat flour
• 200 gr all purpose flour
• 80 gr. sugar
• 5 gr. salt
• 20 gr. powdered milk
• 20 gr dry instant yeast
• 230 gr. water
• 1 egg (medium size)
• 40 gr. lard (you might use butter)

Directions

1. Start by mixing dry ingredients: flours, sugar, salt, milk, and dry yeast.
2. Add water, and beaten egg. Knead dough about 5 minutes
3. Add lard (room temperature) and knead until soft and smooth. Add some flour if the dough is too sticky, but be careful not to add too much (I never add any). Shape into a ball, and let it rest in a bowl, covered with a cloth, for 1 or 2 hours, until doubled in size
4. Roll the dough on a slightly floured surface to a thickness of 1 cm. Cut the donut balls using a small round cookie cutter (mine was 5 cm, it can be smaller). Place the donut balls on a baking sheet covered with paper parchment, and let them rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour
5. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350° F. Slide doughnuts balls into hot oil with wide spatula and fry until golden brown
6. Drain them on paper towels, and dip the doughnut holes in sugar glaze. Set on rack until cooled (if you are strong enough to wait) and fill them using a piping bag
