Hello Corliss,

I did find a vinegar pudding recipe with orange peel. See below.

Hello Mike,

Sorry, there are no available recipes that claim to be clones of World's Fair or Lake Forest Bakery donuts. However, below are three buttermilk donuts recipes. Many buttermilk donut recipes contain mashed potatoes. Maybe that's the secret.

Buttermilk Doughnuts

3 Eggs
1 1/2 c Sugar
3 tb Oil
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Ground nutmeg
1 ts Vanilla
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
5 1/2 c White flour, not sifted

Preheat fat fryer to 350F. Mix the eggs, sugar, oil, and buttermilk 
with a wire whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the yolks are broken 
up and distributed. Add the spices, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, 
and salt; mix well. Fold the flour into the mixture until the ingredients 
are no longer wet. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. The batter will thicken 
by itself without needing more flour which would toughen the doughnuts. 
Drop half of the dough onto a floured board and knead lightly into a ball 
with folded ends underneath. Roll the dough into a round shape about 1/2 
inch thick. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Knead the leftover dough into the 
second half of the mixture. Repeat kneading and rolling. Be very sparing 
with the flour. Dust the dough very lightly, but don't over flour. Your 
dough should not be sticky if left to rest for 5 to 10 minutes as instructed. 
Cook the doughnuts in hot oil, 1 inch deep in the pan. Brown the doughnuts 
for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Makes 30 doughnuts and 30 holes

 on a floured board until floured.  Roll dough to 3/8 inch thick.
 Cut with a floured doughnut cutter.  With a spatula slide doughnuts 
 in hot oil.  Fry 2 or 3 minutes or until brown on both sides. Drain 
 and frost or sugar.
