I was able to go through my grandmothers cookbooks and I came across this lovely gem that was published in the 1970s. 

This cookbook made me laugh because it calls for chocolate bars that cost $.10. Sorting through the cookbook I stumbled across this doughnut recipe which inspired me to create these doughnut holes.

I made some modifications to bring it up-to-date. I prepared it this past weekend for my husband for breakfast.

This recipe yields 16 doughnut holes

 Pre-heat oil to 370 degrees.
 Ingredients:

1 cups of whole wheat pastry flour

 1/4 cup of dutched processed cocoa

1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

1/8 teaspoon of  kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon  of ground mace

1/8 of ground Vietnamese cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons of canola oil

One egg

1/4 cup of skim milk

1/4 and 1/8 cup of granulated sugar

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla

Directions;

In a medium bowl  sift together cocoa, baking powder, salt, flour, baking soda, and spices. Set aside.

In a small bowl mix together sugar and oil. Add egg, milk, vanilla and mix to incorporate.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Using a size 60 scoop, portion out the doughnuts into the hot oil frying for a total of four minutes but flipping every minute or so. Place greased doughnuts on a plate lined with a papertowel. Once slightly cooled sprinkle with powdered sugar.
