Thank you so much for the recipe, a friend gave me her doughnut maker but with out recipes and I really didn't know what to do with it. I asked her for recipes and she said that's why I gave it to you, I didn't know what to do with it! Now I have one good recipe to eloborate on. Think i will try adding blue berries next time. Thank you for sharing

Very yummy, I was given a doughnut machine for Christmas so I asked in the 'Recipe Requests forum' for some recipe and this was suggested to me. I only made 1/4 of the recipe because there is only three of us. I also substitute the real egg with egg replacer, heavy cream with lactose free cream and butter milk with lactose free milk with melted margarine. The flavour was so yummy, Little Miss (DD) and hubby inhaled these. Please thank your neighbour and thank you talldoc for posting.
