We own the Dough-Nu-Matic, and I've had somewhat good results with the original recipe printed in the booklet (we were a little disappointed with how thin the doughnut batter came out, as the doughnuts were so shallow that they were not "tripping the flipper" partway through the process (a metal flap catches the parcooked donut, causing it to flip over to complete frying.) We tried an alternate recipe we found online for "doughnut machine donuts" and it was an absolute disaster, totally runny. Came out more like very tiny funnel cakes.

Does anyone have a perfected/improved recipe for donuts using this specific maker?

I have this and have the same problem. I wish my doughnuts looked like the picture. Instead, they were kind of like little mini-elephant ears.

I too am from Seattle and thought of my favorite little treat at pike place. Now the question to you current owner... Can this device be used for generic fry purposes, or is this a one trick pony?

We bought it because it reminded me of the doughnut place at Pier 39 in San Francisco... you know the one where you can get your bag refilled for $1.99?

In all fairness, using the original recipe in the booklet, we were able to get donuts that looked & tasted just like it (at the end, we shook them in a paper bag of cinnamon & sugar) and they're incredibly delicious. We'll just need to tweak the leavening to get them to puff high enough to trip the flipper so they'll flip over halfway through.
