Phaed 

Rulle Polse (Norwegian Meat Roll)

2-1/2 lbs. flanks of beef 
3 T. minced onion
1 lb. beef 
1 T. pepper
1/2 lb. pork 
1 T. ginger
1/4 lb. finely ground beef 
4 T. salt
1/4 lb. finely ground pork

Trim all fat and sinews from flank. Flatten on a board. Rub in part of dry
seasoning. Add the remainder and the onion to the ground meat. Spread beef
and pork on a little more than half of flank, then spread on ground seasoned
meat. Roll tightly as for jelly roll and sew edges together to keep stuffing
inside. Wrap tightly in a cloth. Put in vessel and cover with water. Cook
slowly for about 2 to 3 hours. Remove from vessel. Place between plates
under a heavy weight to press out moisture, until the roll is cold. Remove
cloth and slice thin. Remove threads, serve cold. It is well to keep under
refrigeration until it is ready to serve.

Hey there,
I have a Dazey Donut Maker. I picked it up a few months ago at a yard sale, mostly for a joke. 
But, the darned thing makes really great tasting donuts! 

I just surfed to your site and saw the request for the plain cake donut recipe dating from 
January 2003.

I have enclosed an attachment with a scanned bitmap image of the recipe booklet.

Thanks,

PKJ

Hello PKJ,

Thanks. I have transcribed the recipe below.

Phaed 

Dazey Donut Maker Plain Donuts
 
 1 cup sifted all purpose flour
 1/2 cup plus 1 level tablespoon sugar
 1 tablespoon double acting baking powder
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1/2 cup milk
 1 egg
 1/4 cup cooking oil
 Flavoring: vanilla, lemon, orange, or almond extract. Cinnamon or nutmeg (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) 
  according to taste.
 
 Combine and sift together dry ingredients. Beat egg and milk together and then add the cooking oil. 
 Mix thoroughly into dry ingredients using an electric mixer. Preheat Dazey Donut Factory for 10 minutes; 
 pour in batter, then add 1/2 teaspoon of oil into each circular cavity at top of unit within first 
 2 minutes of baking. Bake for 5 minutes or, for crisper donuts, bake until oil no longer bubbles from 
 hole in top of lid. Makes 10 donuts.

Hi Mike,

Well, I did a thorough search, probably duplicating the searching that you have already done. I didn't find any plans or diagrams, either. The taffy pullers that are still around seem to all be antiques. This page has one for sale:
Taffy Puller

My thoughts on your dilemma are twofold:

1) Buy an antique taffy puller and, using it as a pattern, make duplicates. You'll probably have to make parts from scratch, but I'm sure you didn't expect to be able to build one out of things lying around in the garage, anyhow...

2) You can bet that, at some point, someone has patented a design for one of these contraptions. If so, then the patent office has plans for one on file. I believe that they would be a matter of public record and you should be able to obtain a copy.

I found your site while looking for information on taffy pullers
(you covered that in 2003 I think).

Here's a rough plan 

(it needs help actually, there should be only one motor, to keep the arms
properly in sync).  YouTube has a LOT of videos of taffy pullers.  One
is:
