Gigi's Oven Baked Doughnuts

People talking
My Grandma (Gigi) received monthly recipe cards from the Montana-Dakota Utilies Co during World War II. This was a recipe from the month of "April" Year unknown. The comment on the card states: Bake your doughnuts--and give your fat to the War Effort. Majority of time is the dough rising. **It takes a few minutes less when "proofed" in higher heat with fairly high humidity**
