Allie has been turning out hot-to-trot homemade doughnuts from her roadside shack on RI 2 for over 40 years and Rhode Islanders travel from across the state to take them away by the dozen ($7.20). Light as air, they are filled and topped with delectable condiments, such as flaked coconut, chocolate and lemon cream, and cherry jelly.
