Make the dough:
1. Add the sugar, salt, vanilla and eggs to the yeast
2. Whisk until blended.
3. Add 2 cups flour and mix with the dough hook to combine, stopping to scrape down the bowl. (The dough should be sticky but if it's too wet, add ¼ cup flour.)
4. Add the butter and mix until smooth.
5. Let it rise: Brush a large bowl with vegetable oil; add the dough and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in the refrigerator, at least 4 hours or overnight.

8. Heat 2 to 3 inches vegetable oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360ºF.
9. Working in batches, fry the doughnuts, turning, until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes total.
10. Using tongs or a skimmer, remove to paper towels to drain.
Fill with jelly: 11. Fit a pastry bag with a 1/8-inch-round tip; place the bag in a glass and cuff the open end over the glass. Fill the bag with jelly.
