Personal Notes:
Dad grew up making these donuts with his Mom. He always remembered flour everywhere. Dad's job was to shake the donuts in a paper lunch bag that had sugar in it (sometimes cinnamon sugar). Dad carried on this tradition with us making donuts every so often but letting us shake the donuts in the paper bag with sugar.
