Someone ask that I post a picture of the doughnut cutter, or the center cut out with it to make the holes. Here is the whole cutter. I have posted another picture showing the break down of it.
I entered my story behind these doughnuts in Wilton's Mother's Day Contest & I won (2) sets of their ultimate cake decorating kits, each valued at $250. I'm thrilled! My Mom would have been, IS, tickled to death!
Made on September 10, 2011...I made several dozen of donuts last night, but I cut them smaller in size than what was recommended. They are so good that they are almost all gone today! Thank you for sharing your family recipe!
Dough rising in bowl. How ironic that I grabbed the one bowl that was Mom's to rise them in without thinking & never noticed till I was almost done rising.
Bea, yeah I know what you're saying...LOL
WOW Peggi, that's a lot of driving!!
Sounds like a full day outing just to go
see the doctors... Hope everything is okay!

You just don't know when to slow down, do ya? Oh well, maybe that is the best thing to do. All I can say is take care of yourself, honey, and I hope things go well with the appointments for you both. Love ya!:)
Aunt Bea,doing some better. I had knee Dr. appt.in Maryville (50 miles, one way) & Harlen has speech therapy appt. in Des Moines (115 miles, one way),tomorrow. Then on Thursday, I have 2 Dr. appt. in St. Joseph (85 miles, one way). Then Friday, I get started on a cookie/ mints order I just got in. Keeping busy!
You are so right, Rose. Mine are such skinny minnies but hey, I did not know my measurments. My husband taught me...do you know what I'm saying??? LOL!!!!!!!
Bea, I realize the comments on here are from months ago; but I just wanted to say...your doughnuts have FEWER CALORIES per doughnut...That means you can eat MORE OF THEM....LOL 5/08/12 1743
I had to practice a few times when I started making them again too get it just right too. But I think the flavor is worth trying them again to get them just right! LOL!!
I used a medicine bottle for the hole but guess the mouth was too big. I rolled them out way way too thin but they are delightfully wonderful. Next time I'll know the thickness, etc. This is an EXCELLENT recipe, Peggi.
They look fine Bea, just don't make such a big hole next time & you will have more doughnut. Maybe you rolled out OK, but hole was too big. Let them rise more too, maybe! But these look fine!
