• Spicy Ox Cheek with Apricot Jam
The blogger at Samphire and Salsify describes her experience this way: “The rich ox cheek and the sweet donut covered in a spice rub was absolutely divine. The sharp tangy apricot jam cut through the sweetness perfectly. Meat donuts are my new favorite thing!”

• Feted Crab
Marina O’Loughlin, restaurant critic for The Guardian describes these savory doughnuts as “savoury kinda-profiteroles stuffed with white crab meat” and dredged in sugar.

JP Then, founder of Crosstown Doughnuts in London, said in a UK Telepgraph article that he believes people are drawn to “top quality ingredients that are relevant and timely” and that “filled doughnuts, with their explosion of flavor in the center, are the perfect vehicle for showcasing seasonal tastes.” Crosstown featured a spiced apple and pear crumble doughnut this winter and will look to seasonal fruits such as citrus, mangoes and pineapples in warm weather. “We’ve realized people really respond to freshness and flavor. We’ve simply put this into doughnut form,” he said.

For Justin Gellatly, owner of Bread Ahead and also featured in the Telepgrah article, high-quality ingredients are the key to a great doughnut. “We use amazing ingredients. For a custard doughnut, I use 14 ingredients, not the 40-plus ingredients which are in a supermarket doughnut. We use good flour, sexy butter and delicious salt.”
