Place the dough into a greased bowl and cover. Let it set in a warm place to rise until doubles in size. 
Turn the dough out ointo a floured board and roll to 1 cm in thickness. With a doughnut cutter cut out as many doughnuts as you can. Place them in a tray and cover loosely with a cloth and let them stand to rise again until they are double in size. 

For the glaze 

Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in hot water one tbls at a time until the icing is thin but not watery. Set aside. 

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 180. Degrees slide the donuts one at a time in the oil turning as soon as they reach the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil and drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the glaze while still hot and drain once again on wire rack.
