    In Canada it's doughnut, but language is dynamic...donut is probably considered correct too!

    It depends on whether you're using English-English or American-English!

    I do rather wish you hadn't posted that picture... I'm going to spend the evening dreaming of doughnuts now!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cheers for that xx

    Originally Doughnut - I think it was a baker in america in 1900's that coined the shorter "donut" version. And of course, Dunkin' Donuts immortalized it.
