1. Warm kefir (or milk) to 110F. Combine the warm kefir (or milk), active try yeast and 1 teaspoon on sugar in a small bowl. Give it a gentle stir and set aside until it activates (doubles in size).
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast mixture, butter and eggs, and mix on low speed for 5-6 minutes until dough comes together (it should come off the sides of the bowl).

4. Transfer to a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle some flour over the top. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for 1.5 hours.
5. In a heavy duty pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350F (using a candy thermometer), fry 3 donuts at a time until golden brown (each side takes about 1 minute) on both sides.
6. Drain them on paper towel and toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
