Sunday night, I found quite the gem at a local thrift store:
A donut maker!!! I had JUST been thinking THAT day how awesome it would be if I could find an easy way to make donuts for my kids. I printed out 3 recipes for gluten free donuts and tried 2 of them on Sunday morning after running 14 miles.
First I made Lemon Donuts (I didn't have any poppyseeds) from the Spunky Coconut blog (a go-to GF blog). I stuck to the recipe, except I added lemon extract and some lemon pulp. I should have doubled the recipe because this made 4 donuts. They were very good, but (in my opinion) the batter was too thick and difficult to use in the donut maker. I did not frost them.
So we decided to try this recipe, a random gluten-free donut recipe I found by working the Google on the internet machine.
OK, first of all, the image for the recipe is clearly cut & paste from Krispy Kreme's website or something. Your donut will not look that that. Anyway, I mostly followed the recipe, but I added cinnamon & about 10 drops of Vanilla Creme Liquid Stevia.
Here are some of the cinnamon donuts cooking:
And here are some lemon and cinnamon donuts all done:
I love this little machine! The only drawback of the Hamilton Beach Donut Maker is, ok, 2 drawbacks: 1) it only makes 2 donuts at a time and 2) the bottom of the donut is more well-done than the top. Once we realized this, we simply flipped the donuts about 3 minutes in (they need to cook about 5-6 minutes).
If you ever see one of these beauties at a yard sale or thrift store, definitely pick one up!

Thx for the post. I just found my moms donut maker and am waiting for the dough to rise so that I may begin using it :)
Awesome! How did it go>
Does anyone have the recipe book for the Hamilton Beach 200 donut maker? I have the maker, but I misplaced my recipe book.
Please contact me at lady_jain2000@yahoo.com
Thank you!
Jane, it didn't come with the recipe book. Sorry!
Jane, at this page there were a couple of recipes from the book for this donut maker. I have it also and can't find my book either. The Good Morning Donuts were always our favorites.

I found my Hamilton Beach donut maker in the back of the cabinet, but I need the power cord – any ideas?
Did you contact Hamilton Beach? That would be my first idea. It's unlikely they have one, but you never know!
ebay has powercords and recipe books. Hamilton beach donut maker model 200
