Start by making a soft dough with all the ingredients. Combine the cake flour, warm milk, egg, salt, yeast, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms. Adjust the amount of milk as needed to achieve the right consistency.
Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a dish, cover it with cling film, and let it rise for a couple of hours until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out to your desired thickness. Use a doughnut cutter to cut out classic doughnut shapes, or roll the dough into long strips for cream doughnuts or small balls for jam doughnuts. Let the shaped doughnuts rise again for about an hour or two until they puff up.
