Baked Donuts
General:
A reader, Ginny, was kind enough to send these recipes to share with all.
These recipes are for the kind of donut maker that looks sort of like a
waffle iron and is teflon coated and bakes the donuts. The recipes should
work for any donut maker that works the same way, such as a Magic Chef Donut
Maker or a Super 6 Donut Maker. If you find that the donuts don't rise enough
while cooking, add 1/2 tsp more baking powder to the batter. Cooking times may
vary slightly from donut maker to donut maker.
You can use packaged cake mix in your donut maker if you wish. The resulting
donuts will have more of a cake taste. Just make the cake mix batter as directed
on the box, preheat the donut maker for 10 minute, pour in the batter, close the
lid and cook for 5 minutes. Remove carefully with fork and place on grate or rack.
