By Kerry Acker In case you haven’t noticed, we at Epicurious are wild about doughnuts. And they’ve been on our minds a whole lot lately given that our team has just published a gorgeous doughnut primer, with loads of tips and techniques, and no less than 12 fabulous recipes, including both cake and yeast varieties. So, while I’m newly energized to cook up some French Crullers and Vanilla Cream-Filled Doughnuts at home, I’m also fantasizing about the goodies from my all-time favorite doughnut shops. I would give just about anything right now to be teleported to Woodbury, Connecticut’s Dottie’s Diner, for some of their chocolate-dipped (more like globbed, but in the best way, as far as I’m concerned) doughnuts, which are deservedly legendary and wildly addictive. But, really, it’s not like we’re doughnut-deprived here in New York City, where we have to wake up every morning and face such dilemmas as: Tres Leches cake doughnut at Donut Plant, or blood orange yeast doughnut at Dough? I asked my colleagues here about some of their favorite spots across the country and the following places got shout-outs: Portland, Oregon’s famous Voodoo Doughnuts (specifically, for their apple fritter doughnut); Philly’s Federal Donuts; Dexter Mills, Michigan’s Dexter Cider Mill (cinnamon doughnut) and Dexter Bakery (apple fritter); Manhattan’s Orwashers (filled to order); and Nantucket Island’s Downyflake Doughnuts. What fabulous doughnut destinations are we missing? Please share your favorite spots with us in the comments below. (Pictured: Vanilla Cream-Filled Doughnuts. Photo by Keller + Keller)
