Gently roll the dough out on a floured counter, or board about 3/4 " thick and cut out the doughnuts
Let the doughnuts sit and rise in a warm draft free space for 30 minutes or so.
Carefully fry doughnuts in 375º pan of vegetable oil. You should have a pan or kettle large enough for at least 4 inches of oil. Cook 3-5 doughnuts at a time, making sure that they get browned on both sides. Be careful not to prick them with a fork. Drain them on paper towels, or a brown paper bag.
To glaze the doughnuts, mix together confectioners sugar, and warm water until it is a syrup like consistency. Dunk each doughnut in the glaze and place on a baking rack to set.
