glazed donuts

Sweet coated rings

Glazed donuts are ring-shaped fried dough pastries coated with a sweet, shiny sugar coating that hardens into a thin, slightly crackly shell.

The glaze—typically made from powdered sugar and liquid—gives the surface its characteristic glossy finish.

Glazed donuts are the most common variety at donut shops: I'll take a dozen glazed donuts.
