s/o What's your favorite donut?

[superme80]

Lemon filled jelly donut or an apple fritter

Chocolate cake donut with clear glaze.

For my extreme sweet tooth it's the Krispy Kreme Chocolate Iced Creme filled donut. Otherwise I like the plain white cake donut with white icing topped with coconut or it's glazed donut holes.

Maple bar

or glazed twist

or blueberry glazed donut holes from Dunkin’

Now I want donuts

Raised donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.

Probably the Red Velvet donut form Gibson's here in town. I also love the blueberry cake ones and eclairs.

I've changed my preferences over the years. As a kid it was raised sugar. But now it's raised glazed. I hear so much praise for Krispy Kreme which I find OK but nothing special. We've got tons of mom and pop donut stores using basic commercial mixes. A lot operated by East Asian immigrant families - especially from Cambodia. To me that's just about perfect.

Some Chinese friends have turned me on to "Chinese donuts" that are really just fried dough strips. McDonald's had something similar last year with their donut sticks.

Hot Chinese donuts are excellent. I've never tried McDonald's, but you can't beat them, when they're fresh from a Chinese restaurant. IMO, KK "Hot Doughnuts Now" comes in a distant second.

Sugared or glazed donut filled with strawberry or raspberry jam.

Generally it is hard for me to pass up a Boston creme type donut, usually preferring custard filling over creams or jellies. But there are some family bakeries known for a type or two which are great.

One is a powdered sugar covered stick cruller type with a white creme inside. I didn’t think I would care for them, but I was wrong! And there are some Amish run markets that have donut making areas. These solid, cake type donuts are made fresh and there are some winners there, both filled and non-filled varieties.

A town I lived in had a Krispy Kreme that made them fresh on one of those automated conveyer systems, and right off the belt those glazed ones were really good. Now it seems their stores around here don’t make them on site.

I don't eat them anymore, but my favorite is a Bismark, followed by apple fritter

 

[Micca]

I don't really eat donuts, I guess the regular Krispy Kreme would be my choice.

 

[trip]

Chocolate cake. Pretty basic.

For me, it's a toss-up between this and a raised glazed.

 

[CynBeth]

The once in a blue moon I have a donut it is usually Boston Creme but sometimes vanilla or chocolate creme.

This thread is absolutely deadly! LOL...

We generally do not eat donuts, but if I did indulge it would be hard to pick 1 favorite. I think it is between a glazed donut, jelly donut, powdered sugar or apple cider donut.

This would be my favorite too - love it!
I never eat it, because just looking at this picture adds an inch around my waist

 

[stitch'sgirl]

Definitely the round ones. I'm not picky.

Raised doughnut with granulated sugar (or cinnamon sugar) on the outside. Or chocolate cake doughnut with glaze. I'm also a fan of apple fritters. Do those count as doughnuts?
