Doughnut
A doughnut is a sweet fried dough, ring-shaped or filled, usually glazed or sugared.
What it means for a café
Almost never made in the café that sells it, which makes it a supplier decision rather than a kitchen one. It also stales visibly faster than it stales in taste, so what looks tired at four is often the reason it goes unsold.
This page describes doughnut in general. It is not a description of any particular chain’s recipe, and the photograph is not of any named company’s product.
