On the search for the best donut in Connecticut brings us to Lakeside Diner in Stamford.
This diner out on the far northern edge of Stamford is home to a very surprising donut.
The Donut itself has a nice crispness to its shell.
It’s intensely deep fried, but not in a burned way.
The inside of the donut is damp and has a subtle sweetness to it.
The, after frying, there is a very faint dusting of cinnamon sugar.
Although though dusting tastes mostly like sugar.
I don’t know why I don’t love this donut more.
In every respect, it is the perfect embodiment of what I imagine donuts originally were.
It’s very good, don’t get me wrong. But maybe I’m looking for more than just perfectly cooked dough with a subtle sugar dusting.
The Rating:
With it’s perfectly crisp shell and subtle damp insides, this donut is a perfect example of a classic donut. If that’s what you are into.
