So were did you order it from? Was it pricey? My dad use to make doughnuts when I was a child....fry cakes and the doughnut holes were the best! This is something my kids might like. I'm not too big on fried foods....but a little in moderation is just fine.

Curious .....How many did you fry at once?? If my memory recalls me correctly my dad use to fry 6 at a time & used a big kettle.

only 3 as i was using a small pan but i think bigger would be better. instead of using 2 tsp baking powder am gona use 1 tsp.
