Amish Light-As-A-Feather Donuts image

This Amish donut recipe is inspired by those delicious pastries that you can buy in Amish bakeries, or perhaps during outings to a farm or apple orchard. These doughnuts are fluffy, crispy, and covered in a gooey glaze that will have you asking for an extra napkin.
