Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I remember G-MA making these when I was little. She would drain them on a brown grocery bag instead of paper towels. She would sometimes glaze the donuts, but she liked the sugar cinnamon the best. She would usually give these to the Clearview neighbors since this recipe made so many, and everyone really liked them. G-MA was a great baker.
