Brown Bobby Donut Machines

See:

These donut machines were popular back in the 1920s and 1930s. The company that made them marketed them as a money-making idea. They are pretty rare these days, but one occasionally appears for sale on E-Bay. That is the only place I know that one might be found.

Brown Bobby Donuts


Hi,

I recently inherited a Brown Bobby Donut machine from my 99 year 
old mother-in-law who passed awy in March. It has the dough bag 
and the complete "How to Make Money with Brown Bobby", plus the 
recipes. I would be happy to share any info I have. The basic 
recipe is:

Plain Brown Bobbys

1 lb sugar                
3 eggs
1/2 lb of Crisco        
1 pint milk
1 level tsp salt        
1 1/2 lbs flour
1/2 tsp mace           
2 oz baking powder

Cream sugar and Crisco thoroughly. Add salt, mace and one egg. 
Mix thoroughly and then add the other 2 eggs. Beat well. Add 
flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly. 
(Note: Have the Brown Bobby Machine hot. Put a quantity of this 
batter into a pastry bag and squeeze out enough in the lower 
molds to about fill them. Close lid and bake.)

There are more recipes and icings.

Thanks,

Karen
