Doughnut maker; including recipes

Hello matphil

I think that the experts on the 'Old Style' board will have some suggestions and tips for you, so I'll move your thread across.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Hi I have had one of these for years (shows my age..) I had a breville one first which I wore out so am now using my shiny new £8.99 one from tchibo.It makes 7 at a time rather than 6 so the boys are happy.I use the recipe without yeast as they prefer it and its cheaper! The batter usually makes around 30 mini ring doughnuts.I cook them for exactly 2 minutes then flip them out onto a cooling rack with a heatproof spatula (watch your fingers!!!!!)Let them cool for a few minutes then I ice half and add sprinkles,and melt Tesco's chocolate cake covering in the microwave and dip the other half in this.Use a bowl and drop the doughnuts in and twist.A batch lasts about 1 day here..HTH

my other half would get fat like homer simpson if i bought one of these.Just had a tchibo open in our town I have discount vouchers I shall investigate now!

Don't know if you have one already, but if you have a bread machine, you won't need a doughnut maker; just make the dough in the machine and then cook them.

This is the one I use
3 oz plain flour
2 oz c sugar
2 tspns b powder
pinch of salt
3 fl oz milk
1 large egg
2 tbspns veg oil or melted butter

Combine the dry mix and whisk in the wet ingredients.I use a dessertspoonful in each ring so it doesn't spill over.;)

i'm lost how would that work in a breadmaker?Surely you'd get one giant doughnut.(may not be a bad thing)Apologies for being dumb,everything ive put down today ive misplaced i'm having an "off " day
