| | + | '''Donuts''' (or doughnuts) are pastries (usually fried), sometimes coated with sugar, glaze, or frosting. Their shape is either toroidal (doughnut-shaped), rounded (a 'filled doughnut') or elongated (a cruller). Today they typically have a hole in the center of them, however originally, donuts did ''not'' have holes.<ref>http://www.takeourword.com/TOW158/page2.html</ref> |
| | + | |
| | + | ==Types== |
| | + | Donuts are grouped into four different categories, depending on their composition and the manner in which they are cooked. These are a few examples of how donuts are properly categorized.<ref>http://www.timhortons.com/en/menu/menu_info.html</ref> Tim-Bits, or donut holes, are categorized in much the same way as the standard donut. Donuts can be unadorned, or coated with unbelievably delicious and delectable [[chocolate]] frosting. Other frosting choices include [[maple]], powdered [[sugar]], and [[sprinkles]]. |
