What it is
These are soft, ring-shaped pastries made from a leavened dough that has been fried and then coated with a sweet glaze. The dough is light and airy due to the yeast, giving it a characteristic texture. The glaze provides a smooth, often slightly crisp, sweet coating that enhances the overall flavor. They are typically enjoyed as a simple treat.
