jelly donut
Fruity fried dough
A jelly donut is a round, deep-fried pastry filled with fruit jelly or jam, typically coated in powdered or granulated sugar.
The filling is injected after frying, leaving no visible seam.
In American English, it's the default term; British English prefers jam doughnut.
The Berliner and sufganiyah are regional variations.
