A doughnut (spelled donut in various marketing sectors) is a type of deep fried dessert food made out of dough or batter.

How they are made

Round ringed doughnuts are made by joining the ends of a long, thin piece of dough into a ring or by using a doughnut cutter, which perfectly cuts the outside and inside shape, leaving a doughnut-shaped piece of dough and a doughnut hole from dough removed from the center. This smaller piece of dough can be cooked or re-added to the batch to make more doughnuts. A disk-shaped doughnut can also be stretched and molded into a torus until the center breaks to form a hole. Or, a doughnut depositor can be used to place a circle of liquid dough (batter) into the deep fryer. Doughnuts can be made from a yeast-based dough for more puffy doughnuts or a special type of cake batter. Yeast-raised doughnuts contain about 25% oil by weight, whereas cake doughnuts' oil content is around 20%, but they have extra fat in the batter before frying. Cake doughnuts are fried for about 90 seconds at about 190 °C to 198 °C, turning once. Yeast-raised doughnuts absorb more oil because they take longer to fry, about 150 seconds, at 182 °C to 190 °C. Cake doughnuts normally weigh between 24 g and 28 g, whereas yeast-raised doughnuts normally are 38 g and are mostly larger when finished. Some types of cake doughnuts are also baked, as opposed to fried, which greatly reduces the fat content.

Types

The two most common types of doughnut are ring doughnuts, which are shaped like rings, and filled doughnuts, which are round and have jam, jelly, custard, whipped cream, or chocolate inside them.^[1] There are also "doughnut holes" or "munchkins" which come in the shape of small balls. Most doughnuts have an icing (also called a "frosting") made with icing sugar, water, and flavourings (such as chocolate). Some doughnuts are rolled in sweet foods such as sugar or shredded coconut.^[1]

Serving

Doughnuts are often eaten in the morning, along with a cup of hot coffee. Doughnuts are sold at doughnut shops, bakeries, or grocery stores. People also eat doughnuts as a dessert, or as a snack. Canadians eat more doughnuts per person than any other nation and has more doughnuts shops per person than any other nations.^[2]^[3]

-==Health problems==
-Doughnuts can cause health problems if they are eaten too often. One of these problems is that doughnuts contain a large amount of [[fat]]. Eating too much fat can lead to clogged [[Artery|arteries]]. When the arteries get clogged, [[blood]] does not go through them easily, this can cause a [[Heart Attack]]. Also, doughnuts contain a large amount of sugar and white flour, which are turned into fat when they come inside our body. Doughnuts are a health concern in [[Canada]] where each person eats more doughnuts per year than any other country.<ref>{{cite web|title=The unofficial national sugary snack|publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|date=01-09-1994|url=http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/lifestyle/food/my-canada-includes-tourtiere/the-unofficial-national-sugary-snack.html|accessdate=2012-03-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/food/articles/2008/04/12/canadas_holey_icon_our_eyes_glaze_over/|title=Canada's holey icon: Our eyes glaze over|publisher=Boston Globe|date=12-04-2008|accessdate=2009-06-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=2002-08-05|publisher=NT Times|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.htmlres=9405EFDD133BF936A3575BC0A9649C8B63|title=Toronto Journal; Do Doughnuts Make Canada Too Well Rounded|accessdate=2008-06-03}}</ref>
