Instructions: Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water, add 2 cups of the flour, and set aside to rise. When risen, add the milk and mix well. Add the eggs, oil, sugar, lemon rind, vanilla, cinnamon, and as much flour as is needed to make a soft dough.

Cut with a doughnut cutter and allow to rise for about 2 hours. Fry in deep fat and sprinkle with sugar or honey.

[[These would be called "crullers" nowadays, since they have eggs.

I think the
lemon rind should really be zest, but the recipe (in an old book) says

"rind."
Spike thinks one could use orange zest as an alternative to lemon.]]
