Doughnuts, or donuts, are popular all over the world with many different variations. They are a type of sweet snack made from dough which is then deep fried, but there are other ways of making them.
The most common doughnuts are the ring doughnut, which, as the name suggests, is ring-shaped, and the filled doughnut. The latter variety has a filling injected into it. The modern doughnut is today considered to be an American dish, although its origin is uncertain. It is certainly quite a recent creation, probably dating back to the 18th century at the earliest.
Ring doughnuts, after cooking, can be covered in a host of different glazes and toppings. Filled doughnuts can be filled with jams, creams and other preserves. That can also be coated or topped.
Other shapes do exist, such as the doughnut hole, which resembles the hole missing from a ring doughnut, or the Spanish churro, which is a log, ribbed cylinder. There are many more.
