Grandmother's Doughnuts
8 1/2 to 9 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups buttermilk*
1/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Vegetable oil
Sugar, if desired
Combine 4 cups flour and all remaining ingredients except oil and
additional sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl
often, until well mixed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough
easy to handle.
Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth (about
2 minutes). (DO NOT OVER KNEAD.) Divide in half; roll each half to
3/8-inch thickness. Cut out doughnuts with lightly floured 2 1/2-inch
doughnut cutter.
Heat 3-inches oil in deep fat fryer or Dutch oven to 375°F. Place 2 to
3 doughnuts in hot oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown (about 1
to 2 minutes on each side). Remove from oil; drain on paper towels.
Repeat with remaining doughnuts. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
Makes 3 dozen doughnuts.
*Substitute 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to
equal 2 cups. Let stand 10 minutes.
Tip: It is important to roll the dough to correct thickness. If rolled
thicker, the doughnut though browned may not be cooked through. If
rolled thinner, the doughnuts will be dry and over browned.

I think all dough nut doughs are runny, you simply get a special instrument that squeezes the liquid into a ring, straight into the hot oil, so it fries in that shape immediately.
See if you can find one. It looks like the tubes you use to make shapes with icing sugar (piping), but is wider at the bottom.

This crazy, but we used to do this as kids.
Take a tube of biscut dough (Pilsbury), seperate the biscuts. Stick your finger in the middle to make a hole and pan fry in about a 1/2" of oil, turning when brown. Top with chocolate, powdered sugar etc. They're really good and super easy to make.

YUMMY DONUTS!
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
1/3 cup butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 tablespoons hot water or as needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water, and let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed, or stirring with a wooden spoon. Beat in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double. Dough is ready if you touch it, and the indention remains.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in hot water one tablespoon at a time until the icing is somewhat thin, but not watery. Set aside.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F Slide doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the glaze while still hot, and set onto wire racks to drain off excess. Keep a cookie sheet or tray under racks for easier clean up.
