Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Whisk to dissolve and let proof for about 5 minutes until foamy.

- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to 1/2-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out the donuts. Place them on a floured parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let proof for 15 minutes.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350-360°F. Fry 2-3 donuts at a time, cooking until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-covered wire rack to cool completely before filling.
