doughnut holes

Round pastry bites

Doughnut holes are small, round pieces of fried dough—roughly bite-sized spheres sold as a snack or dessert.

The name suggests they're made from the center cut out when shaping ring doughnuts, though commercially they're usually made separately.

We grabbed a box of doughnut holes for the road trip.
