Vintage Inspiration: An Old Recipe

Over 35 years ago I asked my mother for her famous

donut recipe.  (I guess you could say this is 'Vintage Inspiration'.)  Right away she penned her

recipe and reminded me to be careful of

the hot grease at the bottom of her paper.  I was excited

to get it in the mail and try it out.

It just didn't taste the same as her light donuts.

Believe me, hers were as good as or better than Krispy Kreme!

I just didn't have the knack.

Here is that paper, a little tattered, worn, oil stains and all...

I cherish this little piece of paper.  (I am purging and organizing

bins and boxes and came across her recipe and had to share it with you.)

We've tried and tested and just couldn't quite get the same

results mom did. Her recipe is too lengthy to post here.
The orange walnut rolls can be made with frozen bread
dough. Wanna know her secret? Mix half a can thawed orange juice
with ( thicken or thin as you desire) 2 cups powdered sugar and drizzle over rolls in pan after baking. That's it!
It makes alot to drizzle but she always made enough to feed a small
village!  Bless her heart!

She also used this recipe for her orange

walnut sweet rolls, dinner rolls,

and buns.

The other side of the paper...see on the bottom:

'Be careful with your frying grease!!'

A year ago she made orange walnut sweet rolls and

sent a couple pans to us.  They arrived

carefully wrapped and boxed. We warmed them in the

microwave and ate one whole panful!

They were delicious to say the least!

Thank you again mom for your thoughtfulness!

Am I making your mouth water yet?

Hope  you enjoyed my post today.  I had fun writing

and uploading photos!
