Donut - donut (English spelling) doughnut

Japanese: ドーナツ - どーなつ(英語表記)doughnut
Donut - donut (English spelling) doughnut

Dough made from flour mixed with sugar, eggs, baking powder, etc. is cut into molds, deep-fried until golden brown, and then coated with sugar. Cake donuts use baking powder, but bread donuts use yeast instead. Donuts are a Western-style pastry for the masses, and were originally made with less sweetness and eaten with coffee for breakfast. In Japan, they have become popular as a snack, and ring-shaped donuts coated with powdered sugar are the norm. Storefronts are bustling with a wide variety of other donuts, including stick-shaped long donuts, rope-shaped roll donuts, donuts filled with bean paste, and donuts coated with chocolate and other ingredients.

Japanese:

小麦粉に砂糖、卵、ベーキングパウダーなどを混ぜたドウdoughを型で抜き、油できつね色に揚げて、表面に砂糖をまぶしたもの。ケーキドーナツはベーキングパウダーを用いるが、そのかわりにイーストを用いるものをパンドーナツという。ドーナツは大衆向きの洋菓子で、初めは甘味を抑えてつくり、コーヒーとともに朝食に用いた。わが国では菓子として普及し、粉砂糖をまぶしたリング形のものが一般的である。ほかに棒状のロングドーナツ、縄状のロールドーナツ、餡(あん)入りドーナツ、チョコレートなどの衣をかけたものなど、変化に富んだドーナツが店頭をにぎわしている。
