Krispy kreme bites and original glazed are the most amazing doughnuts in the world!

Aibu? Or am I missing out on doughnuts elsewhere?

My boss bought some doughnuts from St John bakery in London. One had a caramel filling, but not overly sweet, it was creamy with an amazing tang of burnt sugar - my god, it was possibly the most delicious thing I'd ever put in my mouth. It was enormous so I cut it into pieces so we could all have a bit, then I sat there slavering like a Labrador wanting to sneak extra pieces while nobody was looking.

Thanks for reminding me OP, I must go and get another one (and I won't be sharing it)!

I miss Birds cakes having moved from Derby to Scotland Sad

Another vote for Greggs caramel custards. They’ve also started doing another similar one but with cinnamon in which is almost as good.

DP came home from work the other week with a dozen KK donuts that the KK stall near his work gave him for free as they throw them out if they aren’t sold the same day. I have never seen a happier child than DS that day Grin While I do love a KK my personal favourites are red hot, greasy, sugary fairground ones Smile

@PiggyPlumPie I live in Derby! If you ever need your Birds fix, I'm happy to send in the post Grin

Doughnuts should really be the traditional more ones with jam in the middle and no hole.

EssentialHummus · 21/06/2018 20:31

Cronuts for me. Ideally with cinnamon sugar. Noms.

tillytoodles1 · 21/06/2018 20:32

Am I alone in not liking the KK ones? I find them too sweet and sickly The ring doughnuts from the vans, coated in sugar and still warm are delicious.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 21/06/2018 20:32

No, I think they're horrible. Freshly made ones, hot and dusted with sugar from a fair/food fair/whatever beat anything like that hands down.

bimbobaggins · 21/06/2018 20:32

I’m not really a big fan of Krispy creme. Give me a Greg’s pink jammie any day

Mominatrix · 21/06/2018 20:34

Bread Ahead donuts, hands down are the best. Pillow light, not greasy or overly sweet, with a lovely light custard filling. Can't decide if I prefer the salted caramel or vanilla better.

Doughnut Time in London 😍

CatherineUC · 21/06/2018 20:34

The only doughnuts I've ever liked were from Sidecar Doughnuts in California. I don't like doughnuts in general but these were delicious!!

KinkyAfro · 21/06/2018 20:36

Crispy cream doughnuts are disgusting, they just taste of nasty artificial shite.

To the poster who said hot sugared ones on Blackpool pleasure beach....i totally agree. As a kid i looked forward to those doughnuts more than the rides

WhiteVixen · 21/06/2018 20:36

I really don't make the most of living in a town with a Birds bakery... I do however live near Nottingham so am a regular Doughnotts consumer. Especially as they often come to my work when we have market days. They're opening a Derby shop too soon, if they haven't already.

BeijingBarbie · 21/06/2018 20:39

Breadahead doughnuts are amazing. I did their doughnut making course and we ate one straight from the fryer, with just sugar on and it was absolutely fantastic

EstuaryBird · 21/06/2018 20:40

Morley's Bakery in Rochester do a remarkably good doughnut but they're often sold out if you don't get there early enough.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 21/06/2018 20:40

The best donuts are them little warm ones you normally get walking by the beach, especially with warm melted chocolate poured all over. 😍😋

Stopyourhavering64 · 21/06/2018 20:41

Fisher and Donaldson fudge doughnuts are THE best....available in Cupar, St Andrews and Dundee , none other come close

I can't stand jam ones or custard - unless it is a flavoured type custard.

We don't ever go to Blackpool so I can't see what theirs are like, are they greasy?

I personally find glazed (thin runny water icing) doughnuts to be wet, slimy to chew, watery tasting and frankly disgusting. Fairground/seaside ones, warm freshly fried and dipped in vanilla/cinnamon infused granulated sugar are the only ring doughnuts for me.

Namechangedforthispost18 · 21/06/2018 20:42

Ooooo Stopyour they look amazing!!!

They are heaven.

Loonoon · 21/06/2018 20:43

KKs are the best. Especially the chocolate sprinkle ring ones. The filled ones aren’t as good. They have ruined all other doughnuts for me although I fondly remember the Bears Claw ones Burger King used to sell. Solid dough stuffed with fresh cream - gorgeous.
