Whether served with powdered sugar or filled with jam, doughnuts are a symbol of joy and meeting loved ones.

Ingredients needed

*For donuts:*
- 200 ml milk
- 20 g fresh yeast
- 80 g toasted sugar
- 3 eggs
- 100 g butter (room temperature)
- 500 g flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Oil for frying
- 1 teaspoon lemon essence
- Powdered sugar for decoration

*For the sandwich:*
- 6 slices of smoked cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 boiled eggs
- 4 slices of pressed ham or smoked pork tenderloin
- 2 cucumbers (cut lengthwise into 3 slices)
- 4 slices wholemeal bread

Making the doughnuts

1. Dissolving the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the fresh yeast with 1 tablespoon of the lukewarm milk and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy. This will activate the yeast and ensure the doughnuts rise evenly.

2. Mixing ingredients: In a large bowl, add the flour, remaining milk, toasted sugar, butter, salt, cinnamon and lemon essence. Mix well to combine the dry and wet ingredients.

3. Adding the eggs and yeast: Add the eggs to the flour mixture and then stir in the activated yeast. Use a spatula or your hands to knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

4. Let rise: Form the dough into a ball and place in a bowl greased with a little oil. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes or until doubled in volume.

5. Form the doughnuts: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface until you have a sheet about a finger thick. Using a glass, cut out doughnut shapes.

6. Frying: Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Check the temperature by adding a small piece of batter; if it floats and bubbles, the oil is ready. Fry the doughnuts for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

7. Finish: Remove the doughnuts to an absorbent towel to remove excess oil, then dust with powdered sugar.

Making the sandwich

1. Boiling the eggs: Boil the eggs for 10-12 minutes, then cool them under cold water to facilitate peeling. Cut into slices.

2. Toasting the bread: Put the slices of wholemeal bread in the toaster until lightly browned and crispy.

3. Assembling the sandwich: Take a slice of bread, spread with a tablespoon of mayonnaise, then add the egg slices, cheese, ham and cucumber slices. Cover with a second slice of bread.

4. To serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve with the warm doughnuts. This combination of flavors and textures will delight anyone craving a special meal.
