I remember my mom making these in my high school days. Later I got the recipe, and now make them for my family. Sometimes I add a touch of nutmeg in my buttermilk too. Adds another element of flavour.

I hate to give these only 3 stars but I guess I had higher expectations for them. They're good..pretty easy. Guess we're not that much of cake doughnut fans. They are easy but they still took me awhile to fry all them and I only got about 18 doughnuts out of a batch, not 30. And they were 18 pretty small ones at that. For the work of doing it, I think I'll just stick with bought, but it was fun to make at first. Thanks.Reply
