FHE Treat

. . .and it was a treat to share Family Home Evening with the N family last night...along with dinner, lesson by Morgan, Tessa leading the music, "Popcorn Popping" and these yummy Spudnuts.
When SLK and I were newly weds living in Orem there was a knock at our furnished duplex door and there stood a young boy in the dark, maybe about 12 years old, with a large wire basket that had a strap on both sides that looped around his neck for easy carrying. He politely asked if we would like to buy some Spudnuts. I'd never heard that term before and had to ask what a Spudnut was. I learned it was a donut. The beginning.
Dear friend Dorothy Jones and I were visiting and chatting and the topic turned to her families love of spudnuts and the annual making of that treat. I asked and she graciously shared her family recipe. She can't just give you the recipe on an ordinary 3X5 card but it was printed on card stock with darling graphics of pumpkins and scarecrow. It is a treasure as is Dorothy. Thanks dear friend!


I'll put the recipe at Knight's In The Kitchen and know you will want to try them soon. Hey you Knight's in Utah, I/we can make these when we come up next month!!!
