Berneice's doughnuts

I met my 3rd (I think, I am not good with naming cousin relations) cousin Berneice when I was in 4th grade. My sister and I flew to North Dakota with my grandmother to meet her farm family. Berneice Turnquist was my grandmother's cousin (I believe) and lived (lives?) in a small eastern North Dakota community. I believe she is still alive. I thought she was a very nice woman and I remember sitting in an apartment that I believe was hers playing that triangle solitaire game with the pegs. Bound and determined to beat it. I did eventually.

This recipe is not written in my grandmother's chicken scratch, but it was in her box. I suspect that someone wrote it out and sent it to my grandmother.

I have been wanting to make doughnuts lately. My sister bought me a doughnut pan recently. Maybe this recipe is reason to try making doughnuts.
