Cream the butter and salt and rub it into the dough. Allow it to prove for 40 mins.
Once the dough has risen, place it on a flat surface and knead lightly. Divide it in half, keeping half the dough covered, so it doesn’t form a skin.
With a rolling pin, roll out half of the dough to about 1/2″ thickness. Cut with a round, sharp cookie cutter (about 3″ diameter) then make the holes with a smaller cookie cutter (about 1″ diameter), saving the holes. Place each doughnut on a butter paper.
