donut maker anyone tried one?

[Kier]

really happy with my pie maker , wondering if the electric donut maker is any good , the donuts are very small but is the taste any good has anyone found a good recipe

[Jay22]

I used one years ago, donuts tasted fine although as you say they are very small! Think I still have it somewhere, must dig it out and if you find a good recipe, perhaps you could share it?

Edited to say if I remember correctly the donuts don't taste like 'real' donuts!

Never tried a donut maker. Probably never will. I would get too fat, too quickly. I have no self control . You can't get much better than a fresh warm donut covered in sugar. Also a big fan of the iced donut

One of my kids got a Simpsons one from Argos. They were small and more cake like than doughnut. I make a dough in my bread machine then just shape them and fry them myself. They come out superbly and the bread machine has done all of the hard work. I just shove it in and leave it to do it

I use a bread maker 3/4 times a week do you fry then in a chip fryer or a frying pan

When I made 'proper' donuts I deep fried them and then rolled them in sugar! Yum! Must go look for that recipe book.

A proper donut needs frying - preferably in a 50/50 mix of lard and vegetable oil. I don't bother anymore, since I've got a fresh donut stall that fries to order only 150yards from home.

I just put some oil in a Saucepan. They fry ever so quickly on one side, then I flip them over they get the line in the centre, then out and onto kitchen paper then sprinkle with sugar. One day I ate 17! They're only small I hasten to add, but by crikey I love them!

I need a dough recipe please

[alldigging]

Yes. It makes delicious donuts. Don't use it very often though as it makes delicous donuts and my trousers are getting a bit small!

Nic's fairly certain it's the manual recipe https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/02...structions.pdf

I don't have an electric one but instead a little handheld device that plops the dough into a pan of hot oil in the shape of a doughnut.

I use a slightly stiffer than normal vanilla cake batter and roll them in caster sugar.

It works great and only cost me 50p at a car boot sale!
