    In the UK these are called doughnuts.

    The presence of a hole isnt a pre-requisite to being deemed a doughnut here.

    Calling something that has zero holes a ‘donut hole’, will absolutely have a local refer to you as a doughnut tho…

      But how do you differentiate between a doughnut ( o ) and a doughnut o. I’d be so pissed if I asked for a doughnut and someone handed me this tiny shit.

            What part of the UK are they called doughballs? ive never heard them called that.

            Only reference I can think of is Pizza express’ dough balls, but they’re a savoury dough ball rather than sweet like a doughnut.
