Raised Doughnuts

This recipe comes from my Grandma M. (Doris.) As mentioned in a previous post, she was well-known for her doughnut baking and used to sell to different bakeries and restaurants. This recipe was the original one that she began to make and sell. She later changed to the "Cake Doughnuts" as they were more "in-fashion," however these ones still remained a family favourite.
