Gigi's Oven Baked Doughnuts
"My Grandma (Gigi) received monthly recipe cards from the Montana-Dakota Utilies Co during World War II. This was a recipe from the month of "April" Year unknown. The comment on the card states: Bake your doughnuts--and give your fat to the War Effort. Majority of time is the dough rising. **It takes a few minutes less when "proofed" in higher heat with fairly high humidity**"

Very good! Add more sugar though... i baked this at 17 minutes and used regular sugar, i also cut out the holes, adding more baked treats! TRY THIS!!! -
wasn't sweet enough for me and didn't like the nutmeg taste. -
Very good, you don't have to worry about hot oil for frying! I put in a warm oven with a towel over when the dough is rising. Shortens the time. -
I enjoy a good recipe, and this one is excellent. The only problem is the time it takes to let rise. I enjoy the taste, especially when I sprinkle in Peanut butter chips. I mix the dry ingredients in a reclosable plastic storage bag. Less mess.
