Donuts

Watching the Cook’s Country TV show on PBS tonight and they’re featuring homemade donuts.

And I’m remembering making donuts with my Grandma. She’d set up a card table in her kitchen, cover it with newspaper, and away my brother, sister, and I would go. The donuts were the biscuits that come in a paper tube. We’d punch the center out, fry the biscuits in hot oil, and then douse them with powdered sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon, or even dabs of jelly.

Lord, can you imagine the mess?

50 years gone by now, it’s a beautiful memory and legacy.

    One of my favorite memories too, but I remember fancy shapes as well as just donut shaped ones.

      That’s right, I’d forgotten the fancy shapes.
