I love doughnuts and have tried many yeasted raised doughnut recipes (for making glazed doughnuts.) The best recipe I've tried is one by Alton Brown of "Good Eats" on the Food Network. I've linked to the recipe (plus the recipe for the doughnut glaze) in Sources. (You'll also find a recipe for Chocolate Glaze for the doughnuts on the Food Network site, if you prefer.)
I've made them two or three times in my electric fryer, and got the best results of all the recipes I have tried. Depending on how well the dough rises and the length of time you cook/fry them, they turn out similar to bakery or doughnut shop raised doughnuts.
If you try the recipe, I hope you like them as much as my family does!
Happy Baking!

to get the donut really puffed up let the dough sit over night in your fridge. This will help your dough rise and make it light and large

Make sure the dough has risen to double the size before frying. Also, if the recipe calls for eggs try adding an extra one. The yeast will make them puff and the egg will keep them puffy and not deflated.

I've only made those kind of donuts a few times. I found that the longer I kneaded the dough, the fluffier they were. And to have the deep-fry fat clean and just the right temperature. You have now made me very hungry. Thanks!

they're made with yeast and allowed to rise.
