The word doughnut needs no explaining, nearly everyone is familiar with it. It is called "sufganiyah" in Israel and the Malaysians call it "Kuih keria". Nevertheless, it is a simple and delicious dessert with unique variations. A particular type of doughnut, The Boston Cream is so famous that it made its way far away to Pakistan and is called as "Navaz Sharif" variety, funnily after the current Prime Minister of Pakistan though.
Now that I've said all about the fame of this simple little dessert, what actually is a doughnut?
Flour is made into a dough and then deep fried, but that doesn't make it a doughnut quite yet. What's unique of the doughnut is that it has a circular shape with a circle cut out from the center, it's actually a baked flour ring. To give it this ring shape, a doughnut cutter is used which will cut out a circle from the center
