Night Five: The Dough-Nu-Matic
On night five, I took out my automatic donut machine (Doesn’t everyone have one?) and worked on it until my results were just right. I think that they came out very nice:
I don’t know if this is the slowest donut machine ever, since I haven’t taken a thorough survey, but it takes 72 seconds between donuts. See the machine in action, here. Seventy-two seconds per doughnut, and the manual says that the included recipes make about 18-dozen donuts. That’s 4 hours and 20 minutes to finish a batter recipe. Whoa!
And if you’re wondering what happened to night four – I was recovering from consuming too much fried foods on nights one through three.

I just noticed this gadget on ThinkGeek. I expected this would make the process faster, but having easily fried donuts six-at-a-time in a simple pot, I’ll pass.
Thanks for the video!
Does it come with a mold for “sufganiyot-style”? As easy as it is to fry your own donuts (far be it from me to contradict Jabbett), I dislike the frying process and would happily buy a gadget that could save me the effort.
This machine should be engineered to produce sufganiyot.
