Old fashion doughnut recipe 1950/70s

Does any one have the older type of doughnut recipe that was around in the 1950s 60s 70s where the cream was in the middle. Yeast or without yeast. Tried edmonds cookbook but not the one. Thankyou in advance.

OT, love your user name! ! ! Ive just ordered a decal for my car with DILLIGAF on it! ! ! !

I only have a recipe that came with a donut maker I was given. If you want it give me a "yell" ...

Thankyou but have one of those already. Looking for the old fashoined round ball ones.

arnt they just a dough like a bun, but made smaller and then deepfried. i know the ones you mean, cant say i have a recipe tho.

Hmm while I have my grandmas cookbook out. 1/3cup sugar, 1 well beaten egg, 2 c flour, 1/8tsp cinnamon, 1/16 tsp mace, 1 1/2Tablespoons shortening, 1/3c milk, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cream sugar & shortening. Add egg & milk. mix well. Mix & sift remaining ingredients. Add them to the liquid mix & mix thoroughly. Turn out onto floured board & roll out to 1/2" thinck. Cut & Fry in deep hot fat (375 degrees) until dark brown. Drain on unglazed paper. Sprinkle with castor sugar

Thankyou all so far but still no the one I am looking for. It has no spices in it and it is a softer lighter mix than buns. One receipe has yeast in it and the other baking powder would like to see if I can get both again Ours burned in our house fire.

any here that look like what you're after?
