twist donut
Braided fried dough
A twist donut is a fried dough pastry shaped by twisting two strands of dough together before cooking, creating a rope-like or braided appearance.
The twisted shape provides more surface area for glaze or sugar to cling to.
Also called a twisted donut or cruller, though cruller sometimes refers to a different texture: I'll take two twist donuts and a coffee.
