custard donut

Yellow-centered fried dough

A custard donut is a filled pastry—a yeast donut injected with thick vanilla custard, often topped with chocolate icing or powdered sugar.

The filling distinguishes it from jelly or cream-filled varieties: I'll take two custard donuts and a coffee.

Also spelled custard doughnut.
