Okay, partially, anyway. Last week, as I mentioned in a thread, I found a vintage (turns out that it's from 1977) Sears and Roebuck electric donut maker that I was eager to try.
I made the most successful, easy to make, plain glazed donuts over the weekend! They were beautiful and tasty and frankly, even though I made them on Saturday, this morning, there were still rather tasty! They kept their shape, texture, moisture and everything. I love them! And the best part is that they are eay to make, and baked, so no mess from splattered oil, less fat and still great! Now, I can make them for my parents (who both love donuts, but are both pre-diabetic) :)
However, I had only slight problem, which I am sure that other bakers have all experienced at least once. I didn't realize it at the time, but I made a batch of chocolate donuts that looked great! We all tried them and couldn't take a single bite. we all spat it out and I couldn't figure out how I got them wrong....well, at about 2am I woke up and realized that I had somehow, in my enthusiasm, forgotten the sugar!!! Please don't do that to chocolate donuts...not a great idea.
Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know, and to let you all know that other companies (at least from what I saw on Ebay) are making and selling newer versions of the same thing, so I encourage you all - if you are donut lovers - to try them! They are fantastic!!!
