My husband can remember standing on a chair at the table to be tall enough to watch his Grandma make doughnuts. Unfortunately I can't find her recipe but this one is from a different German Grandma and sounds much easier than what he describes to me!

These were simple and easy. Made more than a dozen with this batch using a teaspoonful for each drop. They also cook quickly, with some crispiness on the outside but soft in the inside. Loved having this with coffee. DH said I should have used real sugar for the coating instead of sugar substitute to avoid the aftertaste. Will do that next time. Thanks!

I made these today as Chanukah starts this evening. They were wonderful! The yeast doughnut recipes are too complex and take too long but this was terribly quick and simple. I added extra fresh ground nutmeg and they WERE incredible! I finished making them about an hour ago...now they're GONE! Thanks for posting!

Delicious and oh so easy to get together. I only made half the recipe. I used sugar and then also cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling, and loved them either way. I loved that it isn't just plain cake batter and the nutmeg added great flavor. Thanks Mama for posting, made for bevy tag.
