It is properly spelled doughnut. "donut" is like "kreme" - an incorrect but "cute" spelling popularized when it gets used in trade names, etc.

Dunkin' Donuts technically sells doughnuts, but as it's their store, they can name them anything they like!

:eek::eek::eek:

We have a donut once in three months................and even that's if we're lucky. :rolleyes:

My mom insists that doughnuts have no nutrition and are nothing but carbohydrates and sugar, deep fried. We only get it once in the blue moon as a treat. But I LOVE donuts!
