Doughnuts are sweet, fried pastries that come in various shapes, most commonly in a ring or filled with cream or jam. They are typically made from a dough that includes flour, sugar, eggs, and milk, which is then deep-fried until golden brown. After frying, doughnuts are often coated with sugar, glazed, or topped with icing and sprinkles, making them visually appealing and delicious. These treats have a long history, with origins tracing back to the Dutch settlers in America, who brought recipes for fried dough. Today, doughnuts are popular worldwide, often enjoyed with coffee and found in bakeries and cafes. They are celebrated on National Doughnut Day, which occurs on the first Friday of June each year.
