This recipe is traditionally baked for New Year.

First, cream the butter with a hand mixer until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla sugar and continue beating. Then gradually beat in the eggs. Also add the flour and baking powder and mix the dough well. Use a dough hook if necessary. Add enough milk to form a thick dough. Heat approximately four packages (250 g each) of lard in a tall saucepan. Once heated, set the temperature to medium. Use a tablespoon to portion the dough cakes. First, briefly dip it into the hot fat. Then portion out the dough with the tablespoon. To do this, drop a spoonful of batter into the hot fat. Repeat this process until all the batter is used up or the dough cakes still have enough room to float to the surface of the pan. Turn the dough cakes frequently with a long wooden skewer to ensure they are brown and crispy on all sides. Once the dough cakes are browned all over, remove them from the pan. Roll the doughnuts directly in sugar.
