The history of donuts dates back to ancient times when people began frying foods to transform them into appetizing delicacies. These donuts are a perfect example of how a simple recipe can bring joy to our tables.

Ingredients:
- 500 grams of yogurt (choose a natural, creamy yogurt)
- 3 eggs (preferably at room temperature)
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar (for a more aromatic flavor)
- 1 packet of baking powder (to make the donuts fluffy)
- Vanilla essence (about a teaspoon, for an extra flavor)
- Flour as needed (about 400-500 grams, but adjust according to the desired consistency)
- Oil for frying (choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as sunflower oil)
- Powdered sugar for decoration (optional, but recommended for an appetizing look)
- Cocoa for topping (optional, for a more intense flavor)

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure the yogurt is at room temperature and the eggs are fresh; these will contribute to the fluffy texture of the donuts.

2. Mixing the composition: In a large bowl, add the yogurt and eggs. Use a whisk or a fork to mix them well. Add the vanilla essence, vanilla sugar, and baking powder. Continue mixing until the composition becomes homogeneous.

3. Incorporating the flour: Gradually add the flour, mixing constantly, until you achieve a consistency similar to thicker sour cream. It is important not to overdo it with the flour, as the donuts will become hard.

4. Preparing the oil: In a deep pot or frying pan, pour enough oil for frying (about 2-3 cm deep) and let it heat over medium heat. Test if the oil is ready by dropping a drop of dough; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

5. Frying the donuts: Using a spoon, take portions of the prepared dough and form donuts. Before placing them in the oil, dip the spoon in cold water to prevent the dough from sticking. Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd them for even frying.

6. Perfect cooking: Fry the donuts over medium heat, turning them occasionally, until they are golden on all sides, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Be careful with the oil temperature; if it is too high, the donuts will brown too quickly, leaving them raw inside.

7. Removing excess oil: Once the donuts are fried, remove them with a spatula and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

8. Decorating the donuts: After they have cooled slightly, dust the donuts with powdered sugar. If you want an extra flavor, you can also add cocoa.

9. Serving: Serve the donuts warm, alongside a cup of coffee or flavored tea. They are delicious and simple, but can also be personalized: add fresh fruits or chocolate sauces for an even more indulgent experience.

Tips and tricks:
- The donuts can be stored in airtight containers for 1-2 days, but it is recommended to consume them fresh to enjoy their fluffy texture.
- You can experiment with flavors by adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a distinct taste.
- If you want a dairy-free version, you can replace the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.

Frequently asked questions:
1. What can I do if the dough is too soft?
Gradually add flour until you achieve the desired consistency. The flour should be enough to form the donuts without sticking.

2. Can I use another type of oil for frying?
Yes, you can use coconut oil or olive oil, but make sure they have a high smoke point to avoid burning.

3. How can I customize the donuts?
You can add melted chocolate, nuts, or even dried fruits to the dough to give them a personal touch.

4. What is the calorie count for one serving?
One serving of quick donuts (about 2-3 donuts) contains approximately 200-300 calories, depending on how much sugar and oil you use.

These quick donuts are not just a fast dessert, but also a wonderful way to bring joy and warmth to the hearts of loved ones. So, don’t hesitate! Put on your apron and enjoy the cooking process, because every fried donut is a little joy!
