The tattered recipe in my files is a good indication of how popular these doughnuts have been in our family over the years. They disappear in a hurry, so I typically double the recipe.

These were a bit too bland for my taste. I think next time I will add some more seasonings to the batter.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good these were! I'm not usually a fan of cornmeal, but it really worked well in this recipe. The batter was easy to make and the cornmeal gave the Long Johns a great crunch.

These were really good! I used a pretzel bun instead of a hot dog bun and it was the perfect addition.
