DOUGHNUT MACHINE MINIS
This is a batter recipe I found to use with an electric mini doughnut machine I have (a bit like a sandwich toaster but with seven rings to take a spoonful of batter each) - when I couldn't find the instruction leaflet with the recipe in it. After cooling slightly on a rack, I warm a spoonful of apricot jam with a splash of water and brush on lightly before dipping in hundreds and thousands or chocolate flakes. This quantity makes about 20, easiliy doubled if you are catering for a children's party or such.
