Question about making doughnuts

[mymeowzer]

I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to the following (I will try and ask this so it makes sense):
I've seen instances where risen doughnuts are fried 'to order', like beignets or doughnuts you order off a restaurant menu (made fresh).
How do I work the process of raising the doughnuts and then delaying my frying process to when I want to fry them, without over-proofing them?
I'm completely stumpred by this.
Please help...Thanks

chowser is right, but I think it also depends on over how long a period of time you're hoping to hold them before baking. I might also oil that plastic wrap.

Yeah, it occurred to me after I posted that they could be frozen, if it were a long period of time. Overnight is one thing; days long is another.

You can refrigerate them, covered w/ plastic wrap.
