About Twist donut

A twist donut, often referred to as a cruller or braided donut, is a deep-fried pastry made from a rich, yeast-based dough that’s twisted into a spiral shape. Commonly enjoyed in American and East Asian cuisines, it boasts a light, airy interior with a subtly sweet flavor. The dough is typically made of flour, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, and yeast, and it’s commonly coated with sugar glaze or dusted with powdered sugar for added sweetness. While the twist donut is irresistibly soft and indulgent, it is high in calories and sugars, offering little nutritional value beyond carbohydrates and fats. It contains some protein and trace minerals from the eggs and milk, but its deep-fried nature contributes to a high fat content. Best enjoyed as an occasional treat, the twist donut pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea as part of an indulgent breakfast or dessert.
