The old-fashioned doughnut is a variety of cake doughnut prepared in the shape of a ring with tapered edges around it.[1] 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,[1][2] and have cracks and pores on its surface.[3] 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.
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][4][5] Additional ingredients may include milk, butter, vanilla extract and salt.[2][4] The use of buttermilk or sour cream may impart a rich flavor to the doughnut.[6] It is typically deep-fried, and may be deep fried at a lower temperature compared to other doughnut styles.[7][8] Frying at a lower temperature contributes to its rough, cracked texture.[8] Being turned several times while cooking in the oil also contributes to its texture.[4] 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[4] compared to other doughnut styles. The old-fashioned doughnut may have a similar texture to that of a buttermilk doughnut.[9]
Commercial preparation
Commercially prepared old-fashioned doughnut mixes are manufactured in the United States,[3] which may be prepared by simply adding cold water to the mix.[7] Prepared mixes are used by some doughnut shops.[7] 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.[7] Doughnut makers are also used for other doughnut varieties, such as cake doughnuts.[10]
