I love a good donut. Was recently rewatching Twin Peaks, which always gets me on a donut kick. I have several donut shops within a few blocks from me, which means I end up eating way too many donuts.

Anyways, what's your favorite donut?

Hard for me to rank them, but I think my top 3 are:

#3 - Maple Bar

#2 - Strawberry Donuts (I've only found these at Donuts Man in SoCal, not sure if other places make something like this)

and my #1 is a glazed buttermilk bar

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

I'm not a huge donut fan but if I'm getting one it'll be an old fashioned plain. A basic round piece of fried dough. No filling, no glaze or icing. I don't need any theatrics, just plain fried dough.

 

[Billbofet]

Cruellers!!!

 

[Jobatiak]

Plain Glaze

 

[BigBooper]

Bavarian cream eclairs and then cake donuts.

 

[kunonabi]

1. Cinnamon
2. Maple
3. Glazed(flaky) I hate the slimey ones.

Plain cake is number 4 although really good ones can be better than anything else.

[poppabk]

Boston creme. All that chocolatey goodness and a burst of creme as ...

...nevermind.

 

[Tams]

Doughnut?

Ones with fillings.
Jam. Specifically strawberry jam. Second, caramel. Third, custard.

Doughnuts without fillings aren't bad. Bit dry.

Most disappointing? Red bean paste filled ones (andonuts あんドーナツ).

 

[InfiniteCombo]

I don't have doughnuts very often -- seriously, I have a doughnut once every several years. But when I do, it's usually Boston Creme. Delicious.

 

[Classicrockfan]

Chocolate filled doughnuts.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

 

[Cohetedor]

Boston creme eclairs from the gas station across the street. Second place goes to peanut butter and jelly donuts from Sweetwater donuts. Both can only be found in western Michigan.

[MrMephistoX]

I’m basic Maple Bars and Cake Donuts 4 Lyfe.

 

[zeorhymer]

Custard filled

 

[TylerD]

1) A classic yeast donut with a good flaky glaze is really hard to beat.
2) -Blueberry cake
3)-Boston cream

 

[Doom85]

Glazed with chocolate on top. Simple, but I love it.

 

[Star-Lord]

Just give me a good old original glazed Krispy Kreme and I’m happy.

 

[Bullet Club]

Chocolate Jam Donut

 

[Ribi]

Donut burger of course

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Edit: And sugar free!

 

[kurisu_1974]

I like boston creme or just plain sugar frosted.

Also the things in the OP are not donuts by my definition, just like these typical pastries from where I live are not donuts.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

The Peanut Stick donut, which may unknown to most of N America?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

 

[kurisu_1974]

...and those are boule de Berlin.

 

[STARSBarry]

The Classic.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Do apple fritters count, cause the answer is apple fritters.

 

[GymWolf]

Not a donut eater, but i like the classic one without any shit on the top, and without visible sugar grains on it.

Maybe if you're 12, yes.

Edit: I didn't get your botched reference at first, you mean Van Wilder, right? Great post in any case

 

[p_xavier]

Boston cream pie, reminds me of anal sex.

Yep, in italy it was called maial college. (Maiale is italian for pig)

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[MastAndo]

Boston Cream, or a glazed French Cruller.

 

[p_xavier]

Oh man I remember those, it's like cocaine dusted cakes.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Theres nothing worse then someone bringing a box of donuts and its filled with dry non filling donuts...and it always happens...because people seem to prefer non filling donuts.

One day im going to bring in a box of donuts with nothing but donuts with filling...because thats how it should be. Its like comparing a dry wank to hot wet sex.


also god tier:

Boston Creme

but so many places use the wrong kind and call it that..

 

[German Hops]

Aye, I used to snort these donuts relentlessly as a teenager, usually with a tall glass of chocolate milk.

 

[DGrayson]

Apple Fritter only if done really well.

Besides that probably glazed ring or old fashioned chocolate.

 

[Catphish]

Vanilla long john with coffee.

Simple perfection.

I got two Apple Fritters for you. Which one you buying?

It feels like there are two types. One has a vaguely burnt shell exterior with a more bread like middle (cinnamon based). The other kind is a soft doughey like texture that's more sugar based?

Apple Fritter bros know this gamble!

I may have had the 2nd type but cant guarantee it. 1st type is what Ive always had. Although when too thin and burnt edges it can get a bit greasy. Needs to have a doughy center not too thin to offset those crispy ends.

 

[AlteredForms]

and my #1 is a glazed buttermilk bar

That looks like somebody threw it up.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

While they're still hot

 

[AJUMP23]

Apple fritter is king.

Unfortunately the people that made the best in my town retired after 40 years of it. Lovely Korean couple. Made incredible donuts. The people that took over are not as good.

My favorite donut is the one I’m putting in my mouth
