To think doughnuts should be covered in caster sugar, NOT icing sugar.

[EarSlaps]

Really fancied a jam doughnut today so I popped into the local bakers. They have changed their doughnuts so that they are dusted in icing sugar instead of caster sugar.

Surely this is completely wrong! It makes them far too soft rather than having that little crunch. They also seem to taste strange like that.

AIBU to be a bit disappointed I couldn't have my jam doughnut- the cherry Danish was nice but not as satisfying as a doughnut. The other local shops only sell doughnuts in packs of five and I couldn't eat that many that may be a lie.

I like jam donuts with icing sugar on them.

Yanbu op. I really fancy a doughnut now!

So do I Supercosy, but I can't eat them with icing sugar, it would be like eating cake icing made with caster sugar- all wrong.

Caster sugar definitely - I only like the hot doughnuts bought from vans at the fair, no jam, just hot, squidgy & sugary - yum!

Completely agree. Soft, squidgy and covered in caster sugar - none of this doughy, tough, icing sugar nonsense

YANBU, where's the crunch with icing sugar? Very wrong.

YABU.
Jam donughts with icing sugar used to be my favouite from one coffee shop near my parents.
Not seen them for years - and I don't mean these americian things covered in glace icing.

Definitely caster sugar. The little crunchy bits combined with squidgy soft dough is perfect. Icing sugar seems to be the more popular choice now but it's disappointing.

YANBU. Doughnuts should have a coating that is crunchy and sticks to your lips.

When I was at school, we'd all practice eating doughnuts without licking our lips, when they were on the lunch menu :o

Caster sugar! It gets everywhere, even down your bra if you work on a fresh doughnut stand.

We used to have milky coffee and doughnuts as a pudding in my primary school - although it was the 70s, so anything went really....

Icing sugar on a doughnut is practically sacrilege!

I like them both ways

Caster sugar, icing sugar, what's not to like?? I will take either

Yabu! I like doughnuts dusted in icing sugar best. I'm not a fan of the ring ones though with icing and sprinkly shit. I really want a jam doughnut now!

YANBU if you are referring to deep fried doughnuts.......

however......

YABU if you're referring to cream doughnuts, they should always have icing sugar

YASNBU.

What's worse is that stuff that's not even icing sugar. I think they use it so it still looks like icing sugar, which would otherwise go soggy and get absorbed.

YABU! I don't want to eat that tooth-aching crunchy sugar...it ruins the softness of the doughnut!

I'm tempted to make some doughnuts now.

I dont care what icing they have as long as they are hot!

Oh god I need a doughnut now

YANBU!! Fancy a morrisons jam doughnut now (trust me they are the best bulk doughnuts ever!)

I've just had a lovely, warm jam doughnut.

Going shopping tonight... that's donuts added to my list.

Thanks OP, you're now responsible for leading me astray from my New Year healthy eating regime

It has to be caster sugar. I love a jam donut with custard, dam diet.
