getting a yeasty flavor!  have a yeast donut recipe that gives
great results day of but if i put the dough in fridge and use

anywh i can get the donuts ready day before for frying in big
batches the next day?  is there a fix for this? can i cut my
donuts after they rise and freeze? or reduce yeast?  i can post
recipe if necesarrry.. just dont have it at work,  also these
are not traditional donuts.. south american bunuelos     1.
