Chill dough?

Do you chill the dough prior to frying it?

speyerer - sorry for delay

I didn't realise this was directed at me!  No, the recipe does not call for chilling the dough.   I haven't made it in ages; saw the ladies at the cooking school do it recently (which is where the recipe comes from) and they did not chill it.

Thanks!

The reason I asked is that when I made regular Cafe du Monde "doughnuts", I chill the dough overnight.
