Method

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg & salt. Make a well in centre.
Add warm milk, melted butter and egg yolks, and mix until dough comes together (it will be sticky). Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Brush a large bowl lightly with oil. Place dough in prepared bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap, then a cover with a tea towel. Set aside in a warm place for 1½ hours or until dough has doubled in size.
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Punch down dough with your fist. Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes or until smooth.
Roll out dough until 1cm thick. Using a 6cm cutter, cut 18 rounds from dough and place on prepared trays.
Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside in a warm part of the kitchen for 25-30 minutes or until doughnuts have doubled in size.
To make flour paste, place flour in a small bowl. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a smooth paste forms. Spoon flour paste into a small piping bag. Pipe crosses onto donuts.
Spread extra cinnamon sugar over a large plate. Pour canola oil into a large, deep heavy-based saucepan until one-third full. Heat to 180° over a medium-high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread dropped in it turns golden in 15 seconds). Using a slotted spoon, lower 1-2 doughnuts into hot oil and deep-fry for 45-60 seconds each side or until golden and puffed. Place cooked donuts onto a tray lined with paper towel to drain.
Roll in extra cinnamon sugar to evenly coat. Repeat with remaining doughnuts. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes or until doughnuts are just warm.
Place desired filling into a piping bag fitted with a plain 1cm nozzle. Push nozzle into side of each warm donut and pipe sauce into donuts
