Caramel Custard Doughnut

What is it?

Soft doughnut dough is split and filled with a thick caramel custard, then finished with a sticky caramel glaze across the top. Inside, the custard holds its shape rather than running out, sitting neatly in the ring with a smooth, spoonable consistency. Compared with plain sugar doughnuts on the counter, this one leans on the filling and glaze for its flavour, doubling down on caramel from two directions. It's a hand-held bakery item sold ready to eat, with a pillowy crumb, a glossy surface, and a fairly even sweetness through every bite. Expect the glaze to leave a slight tackiness on your fingers, which is really just the price of admission for something this generously coated.
