So you did not let the dough rise in the fridge 8 hrs or over night?

Allowing the dough to rise in the fridge over night allows dough time to mature and have a better flavor. Texture will be finer also.

It had about 6-7 hours rise time, and 3 punch downs, including the final rising of the cut donuts. Started early, (around 4 PM and did the frying just after midnight) and finished late; we’re night owls.

For a first attempt, we were pleased, and next time we’ll be a bit less anxious to try them, so can do the over night. Besides, the fridge is too crowded with garden produce right now to stuff anything else into it.

We’re shopping for a larger one, and put this one into the utility room. ;)
