What it is

The flavor is a classic sweet dough, often with a hint of vanilla. They are typically glazed or coated in sugar, offering a simple yet satisfying treat. Their size makes them easy to enjoy as a quick snack or dessert.

- Breakfast treats
- Dessert bites
- Coffee pairings
Old fashioned donut holes are best enjoyed as they are, straight from the package. Their pre-portioned size makes them ideal for serving without any additional preparation. They can be placed in a bowl for easy grabbing at parties or set out alongside coffee for a morning treat. For a slightly different experience, they can be warmed briefly in an oven or microwave, though this can alter their signature crispness. They are a simple indulgence that requires no cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike cake donuts, old fashioned donut holes have a denser crumb and a slightly chewier interior. Their characteristic cracks and crevices are a result of the cooking process, which gives them a unique texture. This style is distinct from yeast-raised donuts, which are lighter and airier.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness, store any remaining donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can make them stale. They are best consumed within a few days of opening the package for optimal texture and flavor.
