Donuts for Breakfast

Today is May 1...and the best flower I could give Robert actually contain FLOUR.  Thanks to Zinio and the all the free magazines from Lorain Public Library I get through that ... I found a recipe  2 nights ago and thought this would be fun for breakfast.  In the late  Summer, at the county fair, the Wellington Band Boosters sell these wonderful donuts.  Don't get me wrong I don't actually go to the fair but my friend Pam does and she always brings them home to me (I have gone but the smells and heat and walking are too much for me).  So this recipe is perfect.  Made the night before, chilled in the frig overnight altho it only needs about 1 hour.  I set out everything I needed last night, got up as usual and voila!  Robert had donuts for breakfast, for the men at work, and he dropped some off for Pam and Ken.
