Tom, Cherry and John, thanks for the help. Tom, That's what I was thinking but I am no baker and have no idea how to start. Maybe I'll just find a fried dough recipe and experiment with that. Cherry, nice try but from the looks of them they are more donut-like than the doughgies were. John, they weren't like any donut I've ever had. They were very light and fluffy.

Again, thank you all for the help.
