Warm the almond milk to around 110°F (43°C) and add it to a small bowl with the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the melted vegan butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead the dough.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air and transfer it back to the lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters of different sizes to cut out the doughnuts. Re-roll any scraps and cut until all the dough is used.
Place the cut doughnuts on parchment paper and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow them to rise for another 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
While the doughnuts are rising, heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add a few doughnuts at a time to the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil, allowing them to cool slightly.
While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in granulated sugar to coat thoroughly.
Serve the doughnuts warm and enjoy!
