Cloverleaf doughnut form

I posted about this piece a little while back because there was some sort of wax on it and I wasn’t sure how to get it off. I ended up putting it in boiling soapy water and that worked. It makes great donuts! This is the third batch I’ve made in them. These ones are lemon donuts. I picked this piece up at an antique store as a Christmas gift for myself. It was made by The Ace Company of St Louis and patented in 1929. I’m guessing it was made in the ’30s. The wood handles are original but it was missing the metal rods. I got some 6” high strength threaded steel roads and the work perfectly. It came with the original box too!

That is pretty cool! And I see that you use it too.....thats what they are made for. Very nice!

Nice! could you post a pick of the directions and recipe?

Unfortunately, the directions were not in the box. I would like to have had them. I just looked up baked donut recipes on the internet.

So - how do you use it? And what recipes do you use?

This guy has a good recipe I used first. I use butter instead of non-stick spray like the he does.
Here is the lemon doughnut recipe: https://www.alattefood.com/baked-lemon-donuts-recipe/
I wasn’t sure how it would do on my glass top stove (I hate electric stoves) since any grease that oozes out will burn and smoke on the glass. Just a little butter, not even enough to run out onto the stove top, makes them pop right out though.
