Combine all your ingredients (Flour, Sugar, yeast, salt, butter, eggs and cold water into the bowl of a stand mixer and using the Dough Hook, knead the Dough on medium speed for about 15 minutes.
When your dough is ready, transfer onto your counter and gently knead together for a minute.
Using a kitchen scale, cut out 70g from the dough and rub against you palm in a circular motion until a ball is formed. Make sure to close up every opening by pinching the dough and closing up.
Rub one side in bowl of flour and place on already cut out squares of baking paper. Repeat step 1 to 4 for each cut out dough.
Place the whole tray of moulded dough in a plastic bag and allow to sit and proof for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Heat up some vegetable oil in a deep frying pan for about 2 minutes on low heat and fry your dough in the oil making sure not to overcrowd the frying pan.
Fry your doughnut for 2 minutes on each side flipping over one at a time. When the doughnuts are fried to a golden brown color, gently pack out and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Doughnuts are ready!
