The Official Dictionary Spelling of the word in question—if you’re into that sort of thing—is “doughnut.” The expedited, simplified, Americanized spelling of “donut,” as Grammarist tells us, has been around since at least the late 19th century.

Grammarist finds examples of its use as far away as New Zealand and, gasp, the hallowed shores of the UK, guardian of the English language.

Cake based batter (no proofing involved) = Donut
Yeast raised dough = Doughnut
As a general rule in Aus
Interesting, hadn't heard that interpretation before. Absent an authoritative definition, which doesn't seem to exist, can you give some examples?
@ely: Donut king are cake based… mix batter.. drop in hot oil.. (Oil activates baking powder and donut expands)
Walkers are Dough based.. They get frozen dough delivered and use an onsite proover to raise the doughnuts before frying
Or do you mean articles?
@Megahowler: No, just curious about examples like you gave, wondering if it was actually an industry wide sort of standard, or just a coincidence across a few. Now I feel like I need to know :)
thanks OP
These are excellent. Used twice already and have a third voucher waiting.
Aren't they donuts ?
