Jelly Doughnuts. My way.

[Sultan Bhargash]

I was debating this in another thread and I will put it to you guys. I don't want this thread to turn into another flame war or religious debate.

In my opinion, the archetypal jelly doughnut has powdered sugar on the outside and grape jelly inside. Every thing else requires a modifier: "glazed jelly doughnut", "strawberry jelly doughnut", etc. etc.

So I put it to you: if you hear that you are about to get a jelly doughnut, what do you expect?

This is NOT a thread about "what doughnuts taste better" though I imagine you could move this in the direction of the excellent Pie thread and cheese thread. This is a question of what do you guys consider a baseline jelly doughnut.

Thanks for weighing in.

Deep fried dough covered ith suger and stuffed with jellied surger. That is for losers.

ok jelly doughnut. this is simple. It must be a full doughnut (no hole in the centre) and it must have some kind of fruit or artificial fruit flavoured gelatinized centre.

Delightful and mass-produced European doughnuts.

Made with spongy dough, injected with Bulgarian Raspberry Jam Preserve, and sprinkled with glazed sugar.

10 in a bag will cost you 99p in the Tesco 24-hour superstore in Glasgow...classic!

This is evidence of doughnut divinity!

I hate jelly donuts. They're really disgusting. If you squeeze them too hard or bite down on them, then the jelly squirts out, just like it's some sort of huge disgusting bug.

What the hell is that crap Lefty?

I hate jelly as well. The penultimate donut has no filling, pure chocolate inside, not to moist, with a glazed cover.

To me, jelly and donuts don't mix. Just give me a blueberry 'nut and an apple fritter (or is it frittre?).

 

[Ohwell]

I do not like Jelly donuts, I only like glazed, chocolate on top, vanilla on top, or jelly on TOP.

To firmly establish my viewpoints (As in the other thread)

The Great Jelly Donut (Not doUGHnut, you infidels) is glazed and rasberry filled and exists in the great Krispy Kreme bag with his most loyal subject, Mr. Napkin. The bag exists in the center of the Warm Apple Cider Garden.

What does that have to do with it being second to last?

Can't get into 'em either. My teeth sizzle just writing about 'em. But, on topic: solid fried dough (no hole) injected with a gelatenous rasberry squirb, covered in powdered sugar... like... uh what where those Hostess jelly donuts called?

Edited to correct my blasphemis spelling of donut.

Man, that "weighing in" part just sucks the joy out of my jelly donught.
But when I think of jelly donughts, your description pops to mind.

As long as I'm here, I have to admit that I'm not a huge jelly man. I'm kind of preferential to that sort of powdery creme filling, the one that's almost like cake frosting (that whipped crisco stuff, OTOH, strikes me as vaguely gross).

Jelly doughnuts are yesterday's news. The Bavarian Cream Filled Bismark is the pastry of the future! :jump:

 

[The Troquelet]

Jelly is disgusting in a doughnut. I prefer a donut with no filling or some sugary concoction.

While we're on the subject, what do you like in your sufganiot [Jewish pastry, like a donut with no hole, jelly or sugary filling]?

The Raspberry Jelly has seeds in it too often therefore tainting its purity, the grape jelly is too dark and therefore is a Fallen might doughnut. Now strawberry jelly or jam usually has no seeds in it and is red, therefore it is the true might doughnut god. Worship it and you'll go far.

 

[Rodgers]

Screw your donuts, man - get a good old Vanilla Slice down you instead - top English bakery sweet rubbish

 

[Pillager]

No, no. You've got it all wrong. A nice Apple danish is what's required.

i hate Jelly donuts, but well i like those French Pasterys'
Some Napoleons are good

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I'm not a fan of Jelly donuts either.... IMO, a chocolate glazed donut filled with whipping cream is the best, though it's really a cheap imitation of an éclair.

Some type of red jelly like filling, and powdered sugar on top. I've never really thought about what the red jelly like filling is actually flavored with. I choose to ignore the call of the jelly doughnut.
