PJ, I'm also from the midwest, Twin Cities area, and became fascinated by Miss Minneapolis Flour. So began the venture to find out about its history. Was milled sometime between the years 1856-1928 by The Minneapolis Milling Company which then became General Mills in 1928 along with 26 other milling companies. If interested in more history go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Mills . These doughnuts look absolutely delicious and gives me another good excuse to use the Boiled Apple Cider. Thank you for sharing all of your tips throughout your blogs. The one about shallow frying in this one is definitely going to be used as I've had a hankerin' for doughnuts like my grandmother used to make and just didn't want to face a gallon of the boiling oil. Thanks! Wow, I didn't know Miss Minneapolis was GM - thanks for the info. And yeah, the shallow frying has been a revelation for me - my electric fry pan is a wonderful doughnut tool... Enjoy! PJH
