2. **Cream the Butter and Sugar:**

3. **Incorporate the Eggs:**

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed.

4. **Add Flavoring:**

- Stir in the orange zest (or vanilla extract if preferred).

5. **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:**

- Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the doughnuts tough.

6. **Heat the Oil:**

- In a deep pot, heat oil to medium-high temperature.

7. **Fry the Doughnuts:**

- Using a clean hand or an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter and drop it gently into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry until golden brown, turning as necessary to ensure even cooking.

8. **Drain and Cool:**

- Once cooked, remove the doughnuts and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil. Clean the oil between batches for the best results.
