Donut Maker Instructions
rec.food.cooking/Joan Ellis (1998)

If you have the Donut Factory by Dazey you can use any sort of cake batter or something of that consistency. Heat the appliance for 10 minutes, then fill the bottom part with batter. Close and put 1/2 tsp of oil in the holes in the top. Cook for about 5 minutes.
