In a large bowl, combine warm milk, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast; let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.

Whisk in the ¼ cup granulated sugar, egg, and melted butter into the yeast mixture.

Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut out doughnuts using a 3-inch round cutter and a smaller cutter for the centers. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets.

Cover loosely and let rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffed.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Fry doughnuts 2-3 at a time for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
