    I love the sound of these doughnuts & I'll be making them in the next couple of days. I have buttermilk left over from another recipe & I wondered what I was going to do with it, so this recipe is just perfect. Definately a 5 for a wonderful treat.

    The kids declared these beyond fantastic and I wasn't so sure I could fry as fast as they were eating them. They ate over half the batch for our breakfast for dinner. Part of the rest went with two of the girls to a sleep over. Thanks much.

    Yes, very excellent pic. These sound to drool for. How big a fry kettle, how much fat, would you use for that step?
