powdered donut

Sugared fried ring

A powdered donut is a ring-shaped fried pastry coated in powdered sugar.

The coating is notoriously messy, leaving white residue on fingers, lips, and clothing: I got powdered donut all over my black shirt.

The term sometimes appears in jokes or slang referring to anything dusted white.
