HOW TO OPERATE

Lemon Glaze
Ingredients
2 tbs unsalted butter, melted
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1–2 tbs milk
1 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Method

1. Prepare and have everything in place before starting this recipe.
2. Whisk all of the ingredients together.
3. As necessary, add additional cream (or confectioners’ sugar) to reach desired glaze consistency.
4. Using tongs. dip the top of each donut in the glaze. Allow to cool before enjoying.
   Goes well with lemon poppy seed or blueberry donuts.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing materials and literature.

2. Wash the inner plates by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened with hot water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Do not immerse the unit in water.

3. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. NEVER immerse the housing in water or any other liquid.

4. For best results, lightly coat the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or cooking spray.
   Notice: When your unit is heated for the first time, it may emit
   slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

HOW TO USE THE Donut Maker

1. Place the unit on a dry, flat surface. Plug in the unit. The Ready Light will turn on to signal that the appliance is heating up.
   After about 1 minute 40 seconds, the light will go off. The unit is ready to start cooking. The preheating is complete.
   Caution: unit will get hot- always use pot holders when using unit.

2. Before baking the first donut of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top and bottom donut circles with vegetable oil.
   A light coating of non-stick cooking spray also works well.

3. While the unit is preheating, prepare your recipe. You can also prepare the recipe ahead of time, as the unit preheats quickly.
   NOTE: The recommended amount of batter to use is 1⁄3 to 1/2 cup.
   Tip: If your recipe has flour, make sure you sift it.

4.  Lift the lid and pour batter in each mold in the lower cooking plate. Fill the batter to the top. If necessary, use a spatula to spread. (If using solid dough, simply place in the mold, close lid and cook until brown.)

5. Close the lid. The  ready light will go on again. NOTE: If using batter, do not open for at least 2 minutes. Opening too soon will cause under-baked donuts to split, making them difficult to remove.

6. The baking process will take about 4-8 minutes, depending on your recipe. For batter recipes, it is done when a toothpick comes out clean. The ready light goes on and off during the cooking process. If you want them darker, close the lid and continue baking until the desired color is achieved.

7. Once the donuts are cooked, carefully remove them from the unit with a nonmetal utensil, like tongs or small spatula. Never touch the cooking surface with sharp, pointy or metal objects. This could damage the no-stick surface.

8. At this time, if you want to cook more donuts, you do not need to close the unit to pre-heat again, you can directly pour batter to fill the lower donut molds to make more donuts.

9. Once you are finished cooking, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and leave the unit open to cool.

10. Use the dipping tray to dip donuts in your glaze or sprinkles. Simply fill the dipping tray with glaze and dip the donut in. Another option, add sprinkles to the dipping dish, dip frosted donut in the sprinkles in the dish.
    Additional Helpful tips:
    • You can flip the donut over at the last 2 minutes if you want the top browner.

CLEANING

Do not wash the unit in the dishwasher. Always wash the unit and parts thoroughly after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.

1. Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the cooking surface with warm soapy water using a sponge or soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Do not immerse the unit in water. Rinse and dry thoroughly..
4. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.

HINTS AND TIPS

• A good indication when a donut is ready is when steam stops escaping from the unit.
• After the first donut batch is made, additional batches will cook faster.
• It’s best to let donuts cool for a few minutes before decorating them as this will help the donut to hold it’s shape better.
• Use brownie batter for Brownie donuts!!!
• Add mini chocolate chips to donut recipe.
• Recipes can be doubled.
• Do not open the unit until at least two minutes of baking or the dough will separate.
• When the donuts are done, the top lid should lift easily.
• Add colorful glazes and toppings to cooled donuts.
• Freeze baked donuts: Place cooked donuts in a plastic freezer bag or freezer container. The frozen donuts can be placed in the microwave for 10 seconds or in an oven until hot and crisp.  Do not over-cook. Do not freeze when  frosted. Frost after you defrost.
• The amount of batter to make a full shape donut will vary with different batters.
• For more even donuts, use a spatula to spread the batter to the very edge.
• To keep the crispness of the donuts, move to a paper towel or baking rack after removal. This will absorb the condensation.
• Donuts can be kept hot and toasty until ready to serve. Place them on the rack in a preheated 200°F oven.
• This unit has a non-stick surface for even baking and easy clean–up. A small amount of oil can be added to the unit for additional flavor, if desired.
• Donuts can be reheated in the microwave or in oven.
• Donuts can be baked ahead of time. Prepare according to recipe. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Place in the plastic bag or container and seal tightly.
• You can try all kinds of food creations to make unique and fun donuts. Write down your desired cook time for next time.
• Try boxed mixes like waffle, brownie, cake, cornbread or muffin mix- these work well.
• Be extra careful with unit when pre-heating to avoid burns.
• Measure the flour correctly, or once baked, you could end up with dense donuts. The best way to measure flour is with a scale. If you don’t have one, then fluff your flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off. Or sift it.
• Do not to overmix the batter when combining the flour and milk. Overmixing the batter can cause the donuts to become tough.
• Alter can frosting to a thinner frosting you can pour over Donuts. Simply put the frosting in a microwave dish. Put in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Stir well, then pour over your donuts (or dip them in the frosting).
