Easy Homemade Cinnamon Sugar Donuts Recipe

There is nothing better than homemade donuts! Nothing. My great-grandmother used to make homemade Polish donuts for us when we would go to visit her in Ohio. We hated when my mother came on the trip with us because we were rationed greatly (in our minds). TWO!!!! With the old two digit finger wave in front of our faces would be my mother’s adamant limit. Let’s just say that as small children, we were less than pleased with that restriction.

While my great-grandmother’s Polish donuts were phenomenal, they were also time-consuming to make. So, an easy, homemade donut recipe was in order. That is where these cinnamon sugar donuts come in. They are simple to make! And simple donut recipes are all the rage.
