of a glazed but more airy and in a twisted donut shape. I think it is regional.

[hippywife]

1. Cruller.

Is my favorite. Light, airy and most of all eggy tasting. No one around here makes them anymore.

[debm55]

3. Is it in a donut shape? Reason I am asking is that I have seen people getting into arguments that

French and Crullers were the same. Aren't Crullers shaped long ways?

[hippywife]

8. Crullers can be either, but...

are usually a round donut shape with a sort of spiral design.

9. Yep they're the same. We call them French donuts here in western PA.

[Ellipsis]

48. With coffee... delish.

[lisa58]

2. Boston Cream...haven't had a doughnut in decades 🍩

[underpants]

10. I'd go along with that.

[debm55]

11. Do they have the custard in them? I like the Bavarian cream so sweet and fluffy.

[lisa58]

15. Yes!!! It's a Boson Cream Pie in a doughnut!!!

[blueinredohio]

27. I like long johns or filled sticks

whatever you want to call them but not with Bavarian cream. Plain cream filling and lots of it.

[lisa58]

30. Sounds like an eclair- I don't think I've ever seen that doughnut...

but pastry cream….YES!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Apple Fritter (nt)

[yorkster]

7. Yeah...or apple spice....n/t

[Diamond_Dog]

12. Great minds ... I was just gonna say that, Hugh.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

17. So weird, given you and I never agree on stuff

[Diamond_Dog]

20. Oh yeah!

[alittlelark]

5. Chocolate honey dipped

[Just_Vote_Dem]

40. That's the one I remember

I think chocolate glazed is the same thing, or no?

[Ziggysmom]

6. Chocolate iced, chocolate cake donut 🍩

[Trueblue1968]

39. ME Tooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!! Chocolate iced, chocolate cake donut 🍩

[Scottie Mom]

51. Make that Three!!!

🍩🍩🍩

Mega yums!

13. Glazed raised

I grew up in a family of Bakers, three generations of them

I spent a lot of time in the bakery and they even have a pic of me leaning too far over into a huge mixing bowl of chocolate chip cookie mix

I had to really lean into it to get to the dough and went too far

So the pic is just my legs/shoes sticking up from the bowl with my Sunday go to church clothes on

Otherwise it’s crullers, a gift to us from an unknown maestro

You can find them at some local bakery’s around here and at krispy crème but we don’t have any of those within 30-40 miles from here

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Me too.

[debm55]

16. Yes,I like the French Donuts/crullers also. Now, what do call the donuts that are long, twisted,

glazed and have raisins in them? We call them crullers. Heavy arguments over the name at my school. One teacher even brought in pictures from the internet to show they were crullers and there was no such thing as French donuts. Needless to say, we thought she was a little out there, but I guess she was right.

[SonofDonald]

28. Canadian Dutchies

There’s a recipe for them on “homechefworld.com”

That’s all I can find on the net easily

[debm55]

34. Thank you

[debm55]

24. Son, when I was growing up the local bakery would drive around the neighborhoods , selling donuts.

He had all kinds--custard, lemon , Bavarian cream. French donuts. glazed, etc. I can remember kids and moms running out of their houses to get a box of donuts. We usually got the mixed donut box. Yes, I remember people yelling "the Donut Man is here"

[SonofDonald]

33. Nice, I've always lived in areas that didn't have that access

My house is full of bakery equipment from back in the day

Big stainless milk cans, big copper bowls about one foot deep by two feet in diameter with big handles, I don’t know if for mixing or cooking as they’ve been polished

Every conceivable size of cast iron pans up to two foot wide, one of those mixers and it’s paddles and bowl about six feet tall, lots of the utensils they used including two aluminum rolling pins around three feet long

Etc, there’s more put away…..

I don’t donuts very often these days except the ones I mentioned maybe 2-3 a month

They stay as a special treat that way

What the bakery did was give me a phobia for white cake with white icing, it’s like fingernails on a blackboard to me, I must have eaten way too much as a youngun

😁

[fierywoman]

18. A fritelle with zabaglione inside ...

... ONLY available in Venice from Jan 6 through Martedi Grassa.

[debm55]

36. Fierywoman, what is a fritelle? I have eaten pastry from a local Italian bakery, but I don't

remember fritelles. Thanks.

[3catwoman3]

19. I have a fondness for Dunkin's...

…chocolate donut holes. Pedestrian, I know, bit I like them.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

22. Even more pedestrian ... I've been known to enjoy the Hostess

Powdered Donettes on occasion

[Wicked Blue]

21. Plain old-fashioned

I can't stand looking at the gooey frosting and sprinkles on most doughnuts. Makes my teeth ache.
How can one dunk those things into a cuppa

[debm55]

25. I dislike donuts with all the sprinkle stuff on them.

[Nittersing]

38. Yes!!! And I can't find them anywhere anymore

My Safeway makes some but always puts glaze on them....

[MOMFUDSKI]

23. A still-warm

Jelly Bun made with real raspberry jam and rolled in sugar. Just like we would get at the bakery in the little town near the Northern Wisconsin lake cottage we went to.

[Lunabell]

26. The Krispy Kreme of my youth.

They're really not as good now as they were back in the 70's.

[debm55]

29. We had a Krispy Kreme store here in PA. There were lines out the door to get them freshly baked. The

ones sold now are sitting in the box for God knows how long. Not good at all.

[madamesilverspurs]

31. ChockFulaNuts whole wheat powdered sugar

Visited aunt and uncle in NJ back in the late '60s. On a trip into "the City" we stopped at one of the corner donut shops and bought a couple dozen to take home. Aunt said I couldn't have one until after dinner because I'd never want to leave the shop otherwise. She was right. Long time ago, haven't been back since, but I can still taste those donuts. Yummm!

32. A fresh, warm maple bar from a local donut shop that been making them since 1946.
