Cinnamon Sugar Cake Doughnuts

We pulled out the 'GranPappy' again this weekend to try our hand at some basic cake doughnuts (my favorites, although Nick prefers the raised variety). This was the simplest recipe I could find. While we plan on branching out in the future, I wanted to start with plain old run-of-the-mill cake doughnuts without any extra ingredients. I always think it's a good idea to get a firm grasp on one's basics, before trying the fancy stuff. These turned out quite well I thought, especially the two I cut from the second roll-out when the dough contained a little more flour. I cut the recipe in half, which is still a lot of doughnuts for two people! We are going to have to pace ourselves on our doughnut adventures, or perhaps start quartering these recipes.
