Notes: My mom, Carol Case, said that her neighbor suggested to her to have these donuts warm and ready for her husband when he came home for lunch. She also said she would let my brothers eat them when they came home from school. Why not?
Marion and Walter and their five children came to live with Marion's mother Margaret Templeton on the farm in Sardinia. Margaret and Marion made these donuts in their kitchen on the farm. This is the recipe that started the Templeton Bakery. Everyone raved about these donuts. The entire Schiener family requested these every week. Walter (dad) loved them!
