Because your grandmother obviously thought Tuesdays were a good day for doughnuts, that's all - it was that simple back then! All kidding aside, these sound so good I want to run out and get some pumpkin right now...it's making me sit here and sigh as I read and re-read the recipe. My grandkids are coming for a visit over Valentine's Day - I think that will be the PERFECT time to try these out!! Thanks, gaga - another great post...Krum

I like the idea of donut Tuesday. It sure beats wash the sheets Saturday. My mother would yell and then rip the sheets from under me every Saturday at 7:00 A.M., for 20 years. The donut recipe is great. I don't usually fry anything but now I may have to try it.-Lori

Gaga, I made these doughnuts this afternoon because I just happened to have most of the ingredients. The only thing I did not have on hand was the apple cider. I dusted half with the cinnamon sugar and the other with powdered sugar. Even though they are a cake doughnut, they are light and just wonderful. I added my pictures of your doughnuts that I made. Thanks again Gaga, for submitting your grandmother's yummy pumpkin doughnut recipe. Have a great weekend! ~~~Judy~~~ ;o) NOTE: Did you add the buttermilk in step #2?
