Do not add any dry flour while kneading.

9. Keep donuts on butter paper and let them rise again for 1-2 hours. I cut square shape butter paper so its easy to lift them when they rise again and do not loose their shape... Also put them in oil with the butter paper and then take out the butter paper...and the donuts will remain in their perfect shape.
