Donuts
A
doughnut or
donut (
// or
//) (see
spelling differences) is a type of
fried dough confectionery or
dessert food. The doughnut is popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets. They are usually
deep-fried from a
flour dough, and typically either ring-shaped or without a hole and often filled. Other types of
batters can also be used, and various toppings and flavorings are used for different types, such as sugar glazing, chocolate glazing, or maple glazing.
The two most common types are the
toroidal ring doughnut and the
filled doughnut—which is injected with
fruit preserves,
cream,
custard, or other sweet fillings. A small spherical piece of dough may be cooked as a
doughnut hole.
Other shapes include rings, balls, and flattened spheres, as well as ear shapes, twists and other forms. Doughnut varieties are also divided into cake and risen type doughnuts.
