From my Prima (UK brand) donut maker manual:

Main ingredients:

200g plain flour
125g sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg
125ml milk
50g melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:
70g sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
50g melted butter

Method:
Mix all the main ingredients together into a smooth batter.Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and spread evenly over the surface of a plate.This will be for the topping.

1. Plug the donut maker into a suitable mains socket and switch it on.Allow it to pre-heat for about 5-7 minutes with the lid closed.
2. Open the lid carefully and fill each compartment about 4/5 full with the doughnut batter.
3. Close the lid.
4. The cooking process usually takes 3 minutes but you can keep opening the lid to check on their progress.
5. When they are cooked, remove the doughnuts using the fork accessory provided.
6. Repeat the process with the rest of the batter but keep in mind that the pre-heating is no longer necessary and cooking may be as little as 2 ½ minutes as the unit gets hotter.

Applying the topping:
Dip the finished doughnut in the melted butter then roll it in the sugar/cinnamon topping you made earlier.Put the finished doughnuts on a plate and serve immediately.

Variations:
For interesting variations to the above recipe try the following substitutions:
1. Replace 50g of the flour with cocoa powder for chocolate flavour doughnuts
2. Substitute 50ml of the milk with 50ml of luke warm apple sauce
3. Substitute the vanilla, nutmeg or cinnamon for any alternative flavourings
