I have just acquired a mini donut maker, but have no recipe. Who can recommend one please?

Perfect Donuts

3 eggs (around 3/4 of a cup)

1 cup sugar

2 tbsp. soft butter or margarine

3 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp salt

3/4 tsp nutmeg/mace (optional)

2/3 cup buttermilk

vegetable oil or shortening (for frying)

**instead of using electric mixer, you can just hand mix according to speed if you do not own one.

1 - large bowl of electric mixer (high speed) beat eggs w/ sugar & butter until very light & fluffy - around 2 mins. you might want to scrape the side of the bowl occasionally.

2 - then, sift flour w/ baking powder & soda, salt and nutmeg (optional); set aside.

3 - low speed gradually beat buttermilk into the egg-sugar mixture.

4 - add flour mixture gradually; beat at low speed until combined & smooth. dough should be soft.

5 - cover in cellophane/saran wrap/plastic wrap and chill for an hour.

6 - remove 1/2 of dough and place on well-floured pastry cloth. (keep rest in fridge) turn over dough & coat w/ flour.

7 - roll it out 1/3 in. thick. cut w/ floured 3 in donut cutter - dip cutter into flour b/w ea. cutting.

8 - w/ wide spatula transfer cut donuts onto top edge of pastry cloth.

9 - press trimmings together; re-roll, and cut. let rest uncovered for 10 mins.

10 - while waiting, preheat skillet or wide saucepan and heat oil to 375° using deep-frying thermometer.

11 - gently drop donuts and/or donut holes 3-4 at a time into the hot oil. (too many will absorb and cool oil, thus making them overly greasy - ew.)

12 - when they rise to the surface, turn them over with a slotted utensil. continue to fry the donuts until golden brown on each side. (3 mins total)

13 - use the same utensil to take the donuts out, and place them in a plate with paper towels lining them to absorb oil.

14 - frost them warm or sprinkle cinnamon or sugar on top.

You can make you favorite cake mix and make that or try different ones. Just follow the box directions.
