That one does not make doughnuts it makes sponge cakes !! Proper doughnuts are deep fried in oil.

amazon were doing one recently for a tenner and comet did one 3 months ago for 7 quid.

afaik you dont need oil if you use a teflon coated pan?

But they do not taste the same as proper deep fried doughnuts. My son has one and I am not really impressed with the taste.

If you want "proper" doughnuts then get a splodger thing which makes the batter into a ring, and a deep fat fryer.

I love proper fried doughnuts that are moist and doughy. Not many places do them now.

I blame Health & Safety *1/Cost cutting *2 and Morrisons *3 - when I worked in Tesco in the early 1990's they made proper doughnuts from scratch, proved them overnight and fried them in big fryers the next morning. Prob about 95/96 they got rid of it all and started getting frozen jam doughnuts in and heating them up in the oven for 5 mins. A tradgedy !


*1 - All that hot fat not good for accidents
*2 - Much less labour intensive
*3 - They started this whole 10 for a £1 thing off in my opinion which devalued the doughnut.
