Author Notes
Donuts are part of my family folklore. There is even a famous story about me and donuts ! Family rumor tells that I'd broken a tooth while eating a donut of my uncle Roland at the age of 9 ! You can already conclude that this is a coincidence and I let you judge for yourself the consistency of my uncle donuts.
This recipe is also in my family memories but a good one. This donut is a traditional italian recipe and its just so good. I served them during the Holiday seasons cause it taste like Christmas. —Nana Marmelade
