This is all of the recipe as it appears in Ms Alberta's notes. My granddaughter, Kaylee Michelle, and I used it to make donuts in her Miniature Doughnut Maker. I have also dropped them into a hot oil kettle for cooking, then dusted them with powdered sugar and/or cinnamon and sugar mix. They are good either way.

When I use this recipe I wonder when and how she acquired the recipe. Was it one she made up on her own? Or was it one from someone else?

Let me encourage anyone who loves to cook to give credit where due for recipes, where, when and from whom they came. There may come a time you will wonder and not remember.
