If you want to impress a donut eater, your glazed donut better be the best thing in the shop. An original sugar glaze can't hide consistency or balance issues -- instead, it tends to highlight exactly what's out of whack.
So Fat City scooped up some original glazed from Fluffy Fresh Donuts (10123 State Line) and the new Dunkin' Donuts (7722 West 151st Street, Overland Park) to find out which is churning out the superior product.
Fluffy Fresh Donuts -- (two donuts, $1.94)
These aren't massive donuts. They measured 3 3/8 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches wide, making them more oval than circular.
The first bite yielded a big, bright taste of sugary glaze that quickly dissolved in the mouth. It was relatively dense for a glazed donut -- dense, but not heavy.
The donut itself was chewy and had the right give. Although these donuts had been made earlier in the day, they didn't taste as if they had been sitting in a case for too long. Overall, it was the right balance of glaze to donut -- the kind that makes you want to immediately eat a second one.
