  the old fashioned cake donuts are the only kind i really
like.  fresh fried and still crispy is the way to have them
and in the fall those are often made with apple cider which
would be the first way i had them when i was a rather young
kid.

  fry some up and let us know how they turn out.

  when i was younger i would fry them thin in butter because
i really liked the crunchy parts.
