We Love Grandma’s Famous Donuts!
This donut recipe is an ALL-TIME family favorite. Whenever it gets cold or rainy, one of us kids is bound to text or call my mom and kindly ask if she’s up for making some Homemade Donuts. She’s made them for decades and taught me how to make them, and I am so glad because they cannot be beat! Why we love them:
Simple. There are several steps to make these donuts, but we promise you they are still quite simple. Flavorful. They’re soft, warm, covered in a delicious glaze and just melt in your mouth. They are beyond delicious. FAMOUS! These donuts are famous in our family, and they are so good, we love to make them in the winter, especially around Christmas (along with our Old Fashioned Donuts)!!
