An Amish woman from Ohio sent me this recipe, sounds like it makes a delicious doughnut so I thought I'd share it with you. You'll find this recipe and others like it in some of our upcoming "travel cookbooks."  The woman - Mrs. Raber, from Berlin, Ohio - called these "light as a feather doughnuts."  Yum!
