The old-fashioned doughnut is a variety of cake doughnut prepared in the shape of a ring with tapered edges around it. Primary ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream or buttermilk and leavener. It is typically deep fried, may have a crunchier or crisper texture compared to other styles of cake doughnuts, and have cracks and pores on its surface. After being fried, it may be glazed, dusted with sugar, or served plain. Commercially prepared old-fashioned doughnuts may be prepared using a batter mix that is made with the addition of water. Such mixes are used by some doughnut shops. Some variations are prepared using unique ingredients, and some are produced as doughnut holes.

Preparation

Primary ingredients in an old-fashioned doughnut include flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream or buttermilk, and leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda.[2][3][4] Additional ingredients may include milk, butter, vanilla extract and salt.[2][3] The use of buttermilk or sour cream may impart a rich flavor to the doughnut.[5] It is typically deep-fried, and may be deep fried at a lower temperature compared to other doughnut styles,[6][7] having a crunchier texture compared to other cake doughnut styles.[8] Frying at a lower temperature contributes to its rough, cracked texture.[7] Being turned several times while cooking in the oil also contributes to its texture.[3] It may be prepared with toppings such as sugar, chocolate or maple glazes, dusted with granulated sugar or cinnamon-sugar, or served plain without any topping. The shape of the doughnut can lend to the retention of a greater amount of glaze or other toppings[3] compared to other doughnut styles. The old-fashioned doughnut may have a similar texture to that of a buttermilk doughnut,[9] and may be crisp in texture, with cracks and pores on its surface.[2][10][11]

Commercial preparation

Commercially prepared old-fashioned doughnut mixes are manufactured in the United States,[10] which may be prepared by simply adding cold water to the mix.[6] Prepared mixes are used by some doughnut shops.[6] Doughnut shops may prepare old-fashioned doughnuts by loading the batter into the hopper of a doughnut maker, which upon turning a hand crank, drops a formed doughnut into a deep fryer.[6] Doughnut makers are also used for other doughnut varieties, such as cake doughnuts, yeast doughnuts, cream filled, and jelly filled doughnuts.[7][12]

Variations

Starbucks purveys an old-fashioned doughnut that is prepared using batter infused with chocolate.[13][14] The U.S. company Trader Joe's purveys a product named "Old-Fashioned Doughnut O's", which are miniature-sized old-fashioned doughnuts.[15] The restaurant Nopa in San Francisco has prepared a dessert using doughnut holes along with Asian pears, crème anglaise, pear butter and cardamaro liqueur.[16] The doughnuts are prepared using a sour cream base.[16] Do-Rite Donuts in New York has created limited-edition custom doughnuts in collaboration with various celebrities, which included an old-fashioned doughnut with maple glaze garnished with candied Fresno chili peppers.[17] Top Pot Doughnuts in Seattle prepares both vanilla and chocolate based old- fashioned doughnuts. Each flavor can be dipped in glaze, raspberry glaze, chocolate icing, maple icing, or sugared pumpkin (in season).[7] Glazed and Infused in Chicago, Illinois serves customers the traditional glazed old-fashioned as well as a unique twist on the doughnut they like to call the lemon poppy seed old-fashioned doughnut. The doughnut is covered with lemon flavored glaze, and topped with poppy seeds and lemon zest.[18]
