From Mama’s Kitchen - Buttermilk Doughnuts
Monday, March 24th, 2008A photocopied recipe, probably exchanged with the girls at work.
I love homemade doughnuts. I worked in a grocery store after I graduated from high school. I was in the bakery/deli department. I left work every day with the smell of the deep-fryer everywhere and an oily film covering my hair, clothes, and face. I frosted, glazed and filled a lot of doughnuts. On rare occasions, I even got to fry them. Generally, Betty was the doughnut lady, it was her domain and we were not allowed in it. It was probably four or five years after I left that job before I could eat doughnuts again.
We’ve made a couple of batches of cream-filled long johns and a batch of cake doughnuts recently. There’s nothing better on a cold winter day than a warm fry-cake and hot cup of coffee.
