In a large bowl, add the melted butter, milk and whisk well together.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt and mix well
Add the egg and whisk it all together
Add the dry yeast and whisk and let it sit for 5 minutes
Now, add the flour and mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon
Then knead the dough with your hands, you can sprinkle some flour to keep it from sticking. Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover with cloth or saran wrap and let it rest till it doubles in size, about an hour and a half
Uncover the dough and release the gas trapped by poking or punching the dough with your hands.
Knead the dough again until it softens
Divide the dough into 12-15 equal parts. Keep sprinkling or dusting with flour to keep from sticking.
Take one ball of dough and roll it out on your cutting board till it forms a rope. Use flour to keep it from sticking or breaking apart.
Place one hand on each end of the rope and start twisting in opposite directions till it forms a twisted rope.
Join the two ends together and seal it.
Repeat the process for each ball of dough
Once you’ve done twisting all the balls into twisted ropes, let them sit out for about 30 minutes on the cutting board or counter. Turn them over halfway.
In the meantime, heat oil in a deep pan. Once it reaches 350 degrees F, reduce to medium heat.
Gently drop a twisted dough into the oil, ensuring it doesn’t splatter. Place as many pieces as would fit comfortably in the pan without touching one another.
Fry until they turn a golden brown, about 5 minutes. Keep flipping them over to make sure they are evenly cooked. Remove from heat and drain over a wire rack or on paper towels.
In a large brown paper bag or Ziplock bag, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and shake well till they are well combined.
Add the fried doughnuts to the bag and shake well till each twisted doughnut is coated in the sugar and cinnamon combination.
