doughnut hole

Bite-sized pastry ball

A doughnut hole is the small, round piece of dough punched from the center when forming a ring-shaped doughnut, then fried as a bite-sized treat.

The term also names the gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage where beneficiaries must pay more out of pocket before catastrophic coverage resumes: Many seniors worry about falling into the doughnut hole.
