Aunt Clara’s Donuts
My grandfather's sister, Clara, used to make these donuts. She passed away several years before I was born, but my grandfather used her recipe to make these donuts. They were DELICIOUS, especially fresh and warm! Very often, he would coat them in cinnamon-sugar while they were still warm. My mouth is watering and I can taste them now! Maybe I should make them this weekend. In any case, I think I will be making these very soon, and I'll upload a picture for you!
