Dad made these "doughnuts" at Halloween for trick or treaters when we were little in the early '50s. You could hand out homemade goodies then! Dad fried the doughnuts in the frying pan with oil, then shook them in a bag of powdered sugar - YUMMMM.
We are always partial to old-fashioned recipes and loved Lyn's memories of her dad making these cake doughnuts. It's a great recipe for kids to help with. They can help cut out the doughnuts and cover them with powdered sugar. Making the dough takes a little work, but when coated in powdered sugar these cake doughnuts are divine. The texture is a little dense and they're perfectly sweet.
