"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
In my day, there wasn't a bakery any where close so these were a real treat to make at home.
I made these one day and as soon as I could fry them your dad and Kay Taft ate them. When I got the dough fried there weren't many left to glaze.

Aunt Clella Pace was a master at making these spudnuts, this is her recipe.
