Hi Patricia,
The value of a book is determined by several factors. After it's demand as a
collector's item (this includes the age of the book and the fame of the
author and/or illustrator) and it's rarity, its value is affected by the
condition that it's in (excellent - good - fair - poor) and whether it's a
first edition, first printing, etc.
I found two copies of that particular book for sale on the Internet. One in
good condition for $55.00 and one first edition in fair condition for
$38.48. This should give you an idea of the value.
See:
Biblio
$55.00
IOffer
$38.48
Scan down the pages to find these.

Hello Carol,
See below.
Phaed
Prepare batter as directed. Conventional donut recipes will not give acceptable results in this donut baker.
The batter can be made in the short period while you are waiting for your donut baker to heat up. Be sure to
mix the dry ingredients well before adding the liquid ingredients. Always use a mixer to obtain the necessary
mixing of ingredients.
Adding Oil ([Optional) If you wish to add oil to the donuts, put 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil into
each donut cavity and a drop or two into each donut hole.
TO COOK: It is very important that you fill the donut baker properly to obtain perfect donuts every time.
l. With a tablespoon fill each donut and donut hole cavity to 1/8 below the top level in the bottom plate.
The baking powder in the batter will make the donuts rise into the top plate when the donut baker is securely
closed. Fill the donuts and holes as rapidly as possible so as to prevent the batter from overflowing the
donut cavities. You will find that a little practice is necessary to determine the exact amount of batter to
place in each cavity. Level batter in cavities. Helpful Hint: Pour batter into each donut hole and let overflow
into each donut cavity.
2. Close the top and be sure that the latch snaps back to secure the top handle to the bottom handles.
3, Wait three minutes. Do not overcook.
4. Press the upper and lower halves of the handle together with one hand and release the latch with the other
hand. Gradually allow the handle halves to separate, thus enabling any pressure to escape. Remove the hot, fresh
donuts and holes. Do not use metal forks or knives to remove the donuts since these will scratch the non-stick
coating.
5. Place the hot donuts on a rack to cool. This helps prevent the donuts from becoming soggy.
6. Push or cut the donut holes away from the center of each donut Wipe the donut and donut hole cavities with
oil to aid in the release of the next batch of donuts. You may start to cook the second batch of donuts
immediately without waiting for additional heat.
If you overfill--the spring latch will rise due to the pressure of the rising donuts. There is no harm caused
by this except the donut will not be in the correct shape or the baking powder might cause the donut to burst
open. ( the above is from the Donut Baker Booklet)
Recipes from Donut Baker Booklet as follows.
Batters:
Basic Donuts:
1/4 cup shortening or cooking oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg ( may substitute equal amounts of cinnamon or vanilla)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk.
Cream shortening and 1/2 cup sugar. Add eggs. BEAT WELL WITH MIXER. Mix
other dry ingredients (except last 1/2 cup sugar) in a separate bowl. Add
liquid ingredients to dry ingredients. BEAT WELL WITH MIXER. Add last 1/2
cup sugar. With a tablespoon fill donut forms to 1/8 below the top level in
the bottom plate. Yields about 18 donuts.
Light Donuts:
1/4 cup shortening or cooking oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 cup milk
Follow directions for Basic Donuts. Yields about 10 donuts.
Bisquick Donuts:
3 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. shortening or cooking oil
2 tsp. nutmeg
1 egg
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sugar.
Follow directions for Basic Donuts.
Buttermilk Donuts:
2 tbsp shortening or cooking oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
Mix and bake as directed in Basic Donuts.
Orange Donuts:
Omit nutmeg from Basis Donut recipe. Add 2 tablespoons grated orange peel.
One cup orange juice may substituted for milk.
Pumpkin Donuts:
Decrease milk to 1/3 cup and add 2/3 cup canned pumpkin and 1/4 tsp. ginger
to Basic Donut recipe.
Banana Donuts:
Decrease milk to 1/3 cup and add 1 medium banana to Basic Donut recipe.
Chocolate Donuts:
Increase sugar to 1 1/4 cups and add 1 square chocolate, melted, or 1
envelope pre-melted chocolate to Basic Donut recipe.
Applesauce Donuts:
Decrease milk to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup applesauce to Basic Donut recipe.
Cake Mix Donuts:
Small cake mixes will make 8-10 cake-like donuts. The consistency is perfect
for many dessert ideas. (Larger packages will make 16-30 donuts)
Jelly Donuts:
Add slightly less batter into donut baker forms. Fill a pastry tube with
jelly and squeeze jelly around the center of the donut.
( Avoid putting jelly near the form edges.) The batter will rise around the
jelly while cooking and form a jelly donut.
Egg Bagels:
3 cups flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 salt 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups water 2 tbsp.
sugar Mix dry ingredient well with mixer. Beat eggs. Add liquid ingredients
to dry ingredients. Add poppy or sesame seeds if desired. Fill donut baker
forms to 1/8 from top. Cook for 6 minutes.
