When I was a little girl, my favorite times were when my mom made krofne on Saturday mornings! The soft, chewy dough and sugar just melt in your mouth. Once you have one, it's really hard to stop!

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Mix flour and yeast together in a large bowl.
Step 2
Mix together milk, water, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add butter and heat until melted and mixture is 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
Step 3
Pour warmed milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add eggs and mix until incorporated; dough will be very sticky.
Step 4
Place dough on a generously floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until dough is smooth and just a bit sticky.
Step 5
Transfer to an oiled bowl and flip, to make sure all surfac30s are coated with oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, then cover with a dish towel. Place in a warm part of your kitchen and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 6
Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Punch it down and knead for 1 minute. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut out circles with a 3-inch cookie cutter. Place circles on parchment paper and let rise for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Working in batches, slowly add doughnuts. Fry until light brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Place doughnuts on a wire rack to drain slightly. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
Step 8
Place remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Roll warm doughnuts in the sugar to coat.
