Combine warm milk and granulated sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the active dry yeast,
In a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients such as all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter and eggs.
Knead using a stand mixer for 6 minutes at medium speed. Alternatively, manually knead in a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until very smooth.
Transfer the dough into the greased bowl, cover with tea towel and let it rise for an hour.
Divide the dough into 14 pieces or more. flatten each dough and place a strip of cheese in the middle. Roll to seal them tightly. Arrange them in a prepared baking tray with parchment paper. Cover with tea towel and let it rise again for another 30 minutes.
Once the dough is ready, deep-fry them in hot oil until golden brown. You may also bake them in the oven at 160°C for 18 minutes. Place them in a cooking rack to remove excess oil.
Whisk powdered milk and powdered sugar. Toss each donut into the mixture until completely covered.
