In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and yeast.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, eggs, butter, and salt.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out the donuts using a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters (one large and one small).
Place the donuts on a floured surface and let them rise for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Remove the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to cool.

Recipe Notes:

Letting the dough rise for an extra 10-15 minutes before frying will result in fluffier donuts.
Experiment with different glazes and toppings for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Special Tips:

Use a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot for even cooking.
Make sure the milk is warm but not too hot, or it can kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.
Let the donuts cool on a wire rack before adding glaze or toppings to avoid getting soggy.
