4 Tbls* oil

4 cups flour

4 tsp* baking powder

1/2 tsp* salt

1/2 tsp* cinnamon

In a large bowl. Combine all ingredients as given on list one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each ingredient addition. Let rest while you get the cooking oil up to temperature.

In a large cooking pot heat enough oil to (375*-400*) to float drop donuts.

Drop donuts by Tablespoonful, gently into hot oil, as to not burn yourself. Brown on both sides, they will turn themselves if they are cooked in enough oil, when brown, remove from oil and place on newspaper or paper towels to absorb extra oil.

When cooled, shake with powered sugar or ice with store bought icing.

Enjoy! ~;-)

A gypsy grandma note:

A little bit about the recipe I have given to you.

My grandma gave this recipe to me when I left home. This was one she always used when she was raising her family. She passed it to me to use for my family. I'm thinking it came from the 1930's when America was going through one of the most difficult times in our history, "The Great Depression", I'm sure she has worked with the recipe to make it just right for her family.

She loved cooking, her "Lemon Squares" were featured, in Southern Living magazine, in the 1970's.

Missing you Grandma <3
