"These drop doughnuts were simple to make and made for a remarkably delicious change of pace from our usual yeast-based doughnuts. They really fried up nicely, puffing up and becoming light and airy. As for changes, I thought the batter needed a touch of salt so I added about 1/8 teaspoon. I also used a touch more nutmeg, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon. The resulting doughnuts were wonderfully flavorful! Next time I plan to add cinnamon to the batter and sprinkle the finished doughnuts with a cinnamon-sugar mixture." - sgrishka

    My family really enjoyed this recipe
    My son made the dough and I fried it, nothing like teamwork to make a snack better. I would recommend this recipe to anyone, it is fast easy and disappears even faster!
