donuts
Fried pastry circles
Donuts is the spelling preferred by the food industry for doughnuts—ring-shaped fried dough, typically glazed or frosted.
The simplified spelling gained traction through chains like Dunkin' Donuts.
I grabbed a dozen donuts for the office.
In automotive slang, doing donuts means spinning a car in tight circles, leaving circular tire marks.
