Instructions

For the coating:

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix with a spoon and set the mixture aside.

For the donuts:

In the mixer bowl, combine the milk, ginger, sugar, flour, cinnamon, cloves, yeast, eggs, and butter. Knead with the hook attachment on medium speed for 8 minutes until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1 cm (~1/3 inch) thick.
Use a gingerbread man-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the donuts.
Heat a deep frying pan over medium to high heat, add the sunflower oil, and fry the donuts until they turn a beautiful golden color.
Transfer the donuts to a plate lined with paper towels, then dip them into the sugar-spice mixture, making sure the sugar sticks all around.
Serve the donuts and enjoy!

Notes

Chef’s tip: The oil shouldn't be too hot to ensure that the donuts cook thoroughly on the inside.
