Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit until foamy. Add sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt; mix well.

- Cover with cloth and let rise again for another 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a pot to around 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches until golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes per side).
