Instructions
Doughnuts
Warm buttermilk in the microwave until slightly warm but not hot. Pour in a Stand mixer bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt, vanilla, and eggs. Attach dough hook and turn on the machine. Add the flour a cup at a time. After the flour is in, add the softened butter a tbsp at a time. Let the dough kneed for a few minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1-2 hours. Punch dough so it deflates. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, remove bowl from the refrigerator. Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough into equal sized small balls. Roll each ball and place on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap to rise. To speed the process, place a pan of boiling water in the bottom rack of the oven, place the baking sheet with the doughnuts on a higher rack and close the oven door.When the doughnuts have risen, heat vegetable oil in a pot and fry them until browned. Place them on a baking rack to let the excess oil come off of them for about 5 minutes.
Ganaches
Place dark chocolate and cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 45 seconds-1 minute. Stir until smooth. Repeat process for white chocolate. Pour each ganache into a bowl for dipping.
