yummy, fast and easy, this was a relatively quick breakfast for something different and all 4 kids asked for it to be a regular. i did let my oil get a little too hot ( we have VERY sensitive smoke detectors, they go off with eggs) but even then they were really good. thanks for sharing i love these recipes that come from old cook books.

My oldest son & I made these one morning after church. What a delicious treat--the food and my teenaged son actually wanting to do something with me!! I'm not sure why, but the dough came out very sticky. We added about 2/3 cup of flour to reduce the stickiness enough to allow for rolling out doughnut holes. The dough waiting to be fried began rising as we cooked the other batches. That was interesting! :-) We rolled the cooled holes in cinnamon sugar, and they were gone before we could even get the next batch made. Definitely a hit and a keeper. Next time, I think I'll try stirring cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (a fave combo) into the batter. Thanks for posting!

I'm a full-time student at a University of Wisconsin campus, with a double major in Sociology and History. I have three adorable children, ages 9 yrs, 5 yrs, and our 2 yr old son. My nine yr old is in third grade. My 5 yr old is is in kindergarten. My littlest one is pleasantly plump. ;) We also have 2 cats.
My daughter recently joined recipezaar under the name Miss Bean
I also really like sewing. I make @ 1/3 of my daughters clothes. Reading is also a BIG staple in my life. One of my favorite ways to find a book is to walk into the library, pick a shelf and simply grab a book at random. I've read so many great books I probably wouldn't have found out any other way.
I also like to camp and fish with my DH. He eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. He would like to one day start his own company, he hand ties and sells fishing lures locally. And he loves my cooking and will try anything at least once. ;)
He works as a pressman at a local printing company.
