wich is the correct word doughnut or donut???????

Answer 1

Doughtnut is the original one it started with, but then it's variant is donut. Donut and Doughtnut have no difference, but I prefer donut because it takes less time. However, if you want to sound more formal, doughtnut would be better.

Answer 2

Doughnut

Answer 3

While I believe either spelling is technically correct, I've always used the word "doughnut" when referring to the actually food item.
I tend to think of the word "donut" along the lines of the 'brand name.' (For example: "Dunkin Donuts" sells doughnuts.)

Answer 4

According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, donut is a variant of doughnut. Did you know that they are also called olicooks?
