Put about 200g of flour into a bowl and make a well. Crumble in the yeast, add a little sugar, and a little lukewarm milk. Let the mixture rise. Then add the remaining milk, mix everything together, and cover the pre-dough. Let it rise in a warm place. Then add the remaining flour and the remaining ingredients, knead everything thoroughly with the dough hook of a hand mixer, and let it rise again. Roll out the dough to about the thickness of your thumb, cut out doughnuts with a glass of water, place them on a floured board, and let them rise again in a warm place. Place the doughnuts, bottom side up, in moderately hot oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove the doughnuts, let them drain on a wire rack, and fill them with jam using a fine piping nozzle. Finally, dust with powdered sugar or caster sugar.
