I use a recipe very similar to this, mine only calls for 1.5 Tbs melted butter (instead of the oil) and sour milk (you mix the soda into the sour milk then add to the rest of the batter) instead of regular milk. They seem to puff up a bit more. Also, I keep instant mashed potatoes in my pantry so I can easily make 1 cup for recipes like this. When I was growing up my mother always kept paper bags of sugar, cinnamon and sugar and powdered sugar in the cupboard to shake the doughnuts in when they were warm. Thanks for posting, not many people make their own doughnuts and they're such a treat!
