Is there anything that can substitute for the vegetable oil in the donut recipe? I have a nickel allergy and can only use three "oils": butter, olive oil and palm oil (shortening). And somehow olive oil just doesn't sound like it would taste right. I also have to make my own baking powder, but I've got that handled. Oh yes, and being owned by two cats and one dog, we have faced the inevitable and, as my husband says, we consider pet hair to be a condiment!
