"I’m very fond of doughnuts,” she confessed “Aunt Martha never makes any. But Miss Susan at Ingleside does, and sometimes she lets us have a plateful in Rainbow Valley. Do you know what I do when I’m hungry for doughnuts and can’t get any, Mrs. Elliott?” “No, dearie. What?” “I get out mother’s old cook book and read the doughnut recipe–and the other recipes. They sound so nice. I always do that when I’m hungry–especially after we’ve had ditto for dinner." Rainbow Valley, IX.
"This plain donut recipe is taken from an old Canadian newspaper clipping found in Mom's recipe scrapbook, circa 1920. Dessert recipes such as this were popular in many kitchens in the early 1900s." Homemade Dessert Recipes
