donut
Hole-centered pastry
Donut is a variant spelling of doughnut—a small, sweet fried cake, typically ring-shaped with a hole in the center or filled with jam or cream.
The simplified spelling dominates in American commercial contexts: Dunkin' Donuts, a dozen donuts.
In driving, to do donuts is to spin a vehicle in tight circles, leaving circular tire marks.
