Who makes the best donuts?

Scrutinize · 25 May 2011 at 18:02

Having consumed quite a few recently,

I would say Sainsbury’s for the regular raspberry Jam filled ones and Gregs for the iced ring donuts. However, imo nothing beats the awesomeness that comes from the fresh made donut seller often found in the local high street for that doughy, carb intensive, hot fried sugar coated hit.

Mmmmmm discuss

Tesco, the ones with custard in the middle. Microwave for about 10 seconds = omg.

Why do people microwave donuts

Sainsburys do some really nice ones in pink boxes? Can't remember what they're called.

Fresh and still warm Krispy Kreme. Fact.

Warms up the filling and makes it soft :cool:

Why would you want a cold donut?

Errrrr, krispy creme?

Just ripping my way through a box of krispy kremes while I do some revision.

Proper gutted there was no lemon meringue in there, my fave

Nah! You can't beat proper freshly fried donuts on the sea front in places like Brid and Scarborough !

I always think that the donut dough part of the Krispy Kremes is a it of a let down but the topings are pretty lush, too expensive though when you can get 10 jams for £1

Gackt · 25 May 2011 at 18:12

Never had Krispy Kreme as I can't justify spending £15 on a box of sugar. :/

Especially when I can get 10 raspberry jam doughnuts from Tesco for a quid. :3

Krispy Kreme, it's a crime that the nearest one to me is (checks) 80 miles away.
Either that or those fresh, crispy, warm doughnuts you get from seaside towns and fairs. 5 for a pound love, 5 for a pound.

Cant beat fresh warm made ones in Blackpool on the seaside front after a long day at the Pleasure Beach, in a bag with sugar, DO WANT

Raymond Lin · 25 May 2011 at 18:14

It's actually not £15, it's 10 if you buy the box.

It is pricey, but the last time I had donuts was 2 months ago, it's a pretty rare occasion that I got the urge for it.

Morrisons donuts are awesome. Just wish they still did the toffee ones

The one on the sea front at Brid! I always buy a box to take home but they never last the journey

Anyone find Asda ones usually seem a bit stale/dry?

Southend Seafront, hot ones!
