glazed donut

Sweet glossy pastry

A glazed donut is a ring-shaped fried dough pastry coated with a thin, sweet, shiny sugar coating.

The glaze hardens slightly as it sets, giving the surface a distinctive shine and subtle crackle.

It's the most common variety of donut in American bakeries and coffee shops: I'll take a glazed donut and a coffee.
