Old-fashioned doughnut

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 and/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.
