- 7 7. to Add the egg/butter mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- 8 8. 3 With the mixer on 3 or medium-low speed, pour in the yeast mixture.
- 9 9. to Allow the dough hook to stir this mixture for a couple of minutes, making sure it’s thoroughly combined.
- 10 10. 1/4 to 1/2 mixer still going, add helpings of the flour mixture in 1/4 to 1/2 cup increments until all the flour is gone.
- 11 11. 11. Stop the mixer, scrape the bowl, then turn the mixer on the same speed for five whole minutes.
- 12 12. 12. After five minutes, stop the mixer and scrape the bottom of the bowl.

- 16 16. 8 Refrigerate dough for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Make the Doughnuts:
- 1 1. 1. Remove bowl from fridge and turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- 2 2. to 1/4 to 1/3-inch 1/4 to 1/3-inch thickness.
- 3 3. 3-inch Using a 3-inch cutter, cut as many rounds as you can, then roll out remaining dough and cut as much as you can, etc.
