Glazed donuts are a popular type of fried pastry made from a sweet dough that is typically leavened with yeast. After frying, they are coated in a shiny, sweet glaze made from sugar and water, which gives them their distinctive appearance and flavor. These donuts are often enjoyed as a breakfast treat or dessert. The texture of glazed donuts is soft and fluffy on the inside, while the glaze adds a sweet, sticky finish. They can be found in bakeries and cafes around the world, often served alongside coffee or milk. Variations may include different flavors or toppings, but the classic glazed version remains a favorite.
