2 cakes yeast
2 t. salt
2 eggs

Tip:  Yeast doughnuts that have a small amount of baking powder are much lighter and nicer shaped than without.

Mix above ingredients and add flour to good dough consistency (about 5 cups). 

Let rise overnight. 

Work dough again and cut out doughnuts.  Let stand for about 2 hours.

Fry in deep fat.
