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

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

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

Fresh Tesco raspberry doughnuts are unbeatable. Just what a real doughnut is really about, simple and very delicious.

Make your own.

There are different methods to a doughnut and you can have it dense like a cake or fluffier.

Is this actually possible and to get them to a decent cooked consitency without a commercial deep fryer?

Also tesco sell Krispy Kreme or at least all the ones near me do, special stand near the entrances.
