Real curveball question!

Roughly 25 years ago, I made doughnuts to a recipe that was in a little Be-Ro baking book that was even then quite old. These doughnuts were incredibly good - among the best I have ever had, and I would love to make them again. Sadly, that book is long lost.

Would anyone, by any chance, have a copy of a little Be-Ro baking book - pretty sure it was blue, and I reckon it dated from the 50's or 60's, that has a doughnut recipe in it? If so, would you be so kind as to take a photo/scan of the recipe or even type it here?

 

Well my goodness, I do believe that could be it! Blimey, thank you @strongylodon and a big thank you to Mrs S too!

 

Brilliant

 

I can't quite believe @strongylodon came up trumps so quickly! I have wondered about that recipe on and off for years and it came back to mind yesterday because my neighbour has just had a fairly hefty operation, got back home yesterday and when I dropped some Lemonade across to her and asked if there was anything else she wanted she quipped 'got any doughnuts?'

When I made this recipe, I tossed them in sugar laced with cinnamon. Lovely.

 

There is another recipe that I would love to track down, although suspect I have zero chance - it was a carrot cake recipe that was on the back of a Tesco flour bag, somewhere mid to late 90's

 

I am a happy camper with the doughnut recipe - just need to get some yeast

 

I think I've got some yeast on an old jar of jam in the fridge.

 

That is probably antibiotic @shiney

 

Maybe it was deemed unhealthy by then?

As a matter of interest, what date is on it?
