Happy National Donut Day!

Donuts are a staple at the Compass Inn Museum during the month of May. We made over 600 donuts to demonstrate cooking in the 19th century. So grab your favorite pot, fill it with only the best tallow (oil will do in a pinch), shape your dough, and enjoy some scrumptious donuts just like our family would have back then.

Enjoy!!!
