Instructions: Dissolve butter, sugar and salt in hot water. While cooling, dissolve yeast cakes in lukewarm water. Then add yeast mixture, eggs and 5 cups of flour. Beat 5 minutes. Cover and let rise. When rises to double in bulk, beat in remaining 2 cups of flour sifted with baking soda and baking powder.

Roll out about 1/2-inch thick, and cut. Rise and fry at 375 degrees.

Either eat plain or with toppings, such as glazes of vanilla icing, chocolate icing cinnamon and sugar mixture.

These donuts are fun for slumber party mornings because everyone gets to help make donuts and donut holes. Theyre delicious!
