No “science” is involved in figuring out what constitutes the best donuts in LaGrange, GA. At least, we haven’t been able to pinpoint anything scientific in our research. The sum of a good donut’s components, including its flavor, texture, fillings, and freshness, is what makes for a wonderful donut.
Taste and Fragrance
The flavor and scent should be unique, well-balanced, sweet without overpowering, and enticing enough to make you want another mouthful. A yeasty aroma suggests real, traditional deliciousness if it is a raised donut. Does it taste real to you, too?
With all the mixes on the market, along with fillings and toppings that are artificially colored, flavored, and textured, you’re sure to run into certain flavorings that taste incredibly phony and have a fishy “lab” odor.
Texture
The best donuts in LaGrange, GA particularly simple glazed raised donuts, blend loft with lightness. You now have something you can actually chew on for a few minutes. Trans-fats are produced when donut shops fry their donuts in hydrogenated shortenings like Crisco, but cheaper commercial brands. A distinct layer of cheaper frying oil sticks to your palate and, in particular, the roof of your mouth.
Day-Old Donuts
How well do they taste on day two? The only place where donuts have a good shelf life is in climate-controlled display cabinets. At the very least, day-old doughnuts should still taste decent enough to dunk. They should not taste like delicious Styrofoam.
