Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received this as a gift from a friend this holiday season. I have made some great donuts so far. Steering clear of the recipes included in the instructional booklet, (a tip from users online), I found recipes by doing a search online. Recipes for donuts that include butter seem to be the best bet. It takes me about an hour from start to finish to prepare and create a whole batch of 10-12 donuts. Before putting the dough into the wells, I brush butter in them and it helps the donut brown nicely. Make sure not to overfill the wells, only fill halfway, or the mixture will bubble out the sides and create a donut with excess. I leave each batch in about 10 minutes to ensure the donuts are cooked through and the outsides are brown. If you don't add enough batter, your donuts will brown unevenly. If I'm making cinnamon sugar donuts, I dip the donuts into butter and swirl to get a coating, then dip them in a cinnamon sugar mixture to top them. These store very well in the fridge and freezer. I was skeptical about having to store donuts and losing flavor or texture in the process. To my surprise, popping these in the toaster oven make them spring back to life as if they were fresh out of the maker. I have enjoyed using this appliance so far and look forward to finding more recipes to try out to share with friends. *PS- (UPDATE 12/22) here are the ingredients for the Cinnamon Sugar donuts (my fave so far) Dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Wet ingredients: 1 large egg 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup melted butter or 1/2 cup margarine 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Cinnamon sugar mixture for tops (add more as necessary): 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Mix together, brush the wells with butter, then fill the wells up 1/2 way. Should produce 12 donuts.
