Cook Island doughnuts

Hi everyone, still carrying on with our instructions with the same country we made a recipe with food from that country so I made Cook Island doughnuts, so here's the recipe.
Ingredients:

• Ingredients:

  • 8 cups of plain flour, plus 2 cups extra for kneading
  • 3 cups of warm water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons of active dry yeast (or 3 sachets)
  • 1 cup of warm milk
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1/3 cup of oil (or melted butter)
  • 3 eggs

  Method:

1. Whisk the yeast and warm water in a medium bowl and set aside for five minutes.
2. in a large mixing bowl, combine 8 cups of flour with the sugar, make a well. Whisk milk, oil & eggs into yeast mixture then pour into the flour/sugar bowl. Using your hand, mix the ingredients together, until the dough is smooth. The mixture will be quite sticky. Cover & leave to rise until doubled in size ( 1-1 ½ hours).
3. Transfer dough onto floured bench, knead the dough, adding flour as you go until the dough begins to have had sufficient flour added that it is less sticky, and more manageable. Then break off 40 chunks of dough to make each doughnut. Knead each dough into a ball & set aside. 
4. Heat oil in a large pot. Test oil with a small piece of dough (should rise & brown lightly within seconds).
5. To make donuts, pierce a hole in the middle of the dough with your finger, then slightly stretch it out or spin it around your finger to enlarge the hole to about 3cm, then carefully lower the donut into the hot oil, turning the donuts as you go. Fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown & cooked through. Transfer onto a rack to drain and cool.

Thanks for looking at my blog and let me know if you have had these before, bye.
