Remove bowl from mixer and stir in flour mixture until well-blended. Wrap dough in plastic wrap or wax paper; chill at least 2 hours. Place dough on a lightly floured surface; roll to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out with a lightly floured doughnut cutter. Fill a large heavy saucepan or electric skillet 2/3 full with vegetable oil. Heat to 370° on a deep-fat frying thermometer. Drop doughnuts, 2 or 3 at a time, into hot oil. Fry, turning once, 3 minutes, or until golden. Drain on paper toweling; cool. Sprinkle with 10X sugar or shake in a plastic bag with I cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. For the tenderest doughnuts, dough should be well chilled. To speed chilling: Press dough onto plastic wrap to a 1-inch thickness. Wrap and place in freezer. Chilled dough can then be rolled with less handling. MAKES about 16 doughnuts
