Baked Donuts

Making donuts on a snow-day is one of the favorite things to do when my own kids were growing. Credit goes to one of the Hybla Valley teacher Miss Hunter, she gave me a donut recipe that requires lots of frying and sugary stuff. years passed, I lost that recipe as well as the taste of deep frying and loads of sugar. But the tradition remains once a while. Suddenly this tradition pop up this year during my stay with Z set of grandkids on this snowy day. the best part was that Sumi is old enough tp plan. I was so excited that forgot to take pics of first few steps of mixing and battering.  i have tried  my best to include all the necessary steps.Enjoy as much as i enjoyed them with my  Z and B set of grandkids. Yes B's too i guess they smelled them 10 miles away.
