Farturas (Portuguese-Style Donuts)
I have very fond memories from when I was a child of going to carnivals and town markets with my grandparents where there would always be a fartura van and my grandmother having such a sweet tooth would always pick up a bag of these, fresh out of the fryer and scolding hot. They would never last long, by the time we arrived home they'd all be gone.
Traditionally it be made with portuguese brandy but they are just as good without.
