1. Sift flours,

centre. Whisk milk, butter and eggs in a jug. Add milk mixture to flour
mixture; stir until combined. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface;
knead until smooth.2. Taking 1 level
tablespoon of dough at a time, place 1 chewy caramel in the centre of dough.
Shape dough around caramel. Roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and
caramels.3. Heat the oil in
a large heavy-based saucepan over moderate heat (oil is ready when a cube of
bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry doughnuts, in batches,
for 5 minutes or until golden and cooked. Using a slotted spoon, transfer
doughnuts to paper towel.4. Combine cinnamon
and remaining sugar on a large flat plate. Roll hot doughnuts in sugar mixture
to lightly coat. Serve.
