Weve tasted a lot of doughnuts, but these four hit the sweet spot.
In honour of National Doughnut Day, we asked the editorial team at Western Living to publicly name their favourite doughnuts:
From: Jelly Modern, Calgary“Growing up in the suburbs, doughnut shops were the late-night hangouts of choice (the smell of cigarettes still makes me think of a honey glazed and a double double). Frankly I’m a sucker for peanut butter anything, and Jelly Modern’s raised doughnut dipped in peanut butter ganache, filled with peanut cream and topped with peanuts is the stuff I dream about at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night.”
Top Doughnut Pick: Sour Cream GlazedFrom: Tim Hortons“I grew up in Alberta, so I don’t have that Central Canada love for Tim Hortons, but while I do love a highfalutin’ doughnut (the Blueberry Bourbon Basil from Portland’s Blue Star is something of a revelation), I don’t love it three times as much as the best doughnut on offer in any one of the 3,665 Tim Hortons across the country. (The coffee is still tragic however.)”
From: Cartems, Vancouver“As a former beekeeper (although, really, does a beekeeper ever truly retire?), I was first drawn to the Bee Sting for its name, but the sweet-and-savoury parmesan honey doughnut would really have even the biggest melissophobic swooning. (Confession: I just looked that word up now. Even the oldest beekeeper can learn something new.)”
From: Lucky’s Doughnuts, Vancouver“Unlike my least favourite pizza, Hawaiian, this use of cooked pineapple is a success! It’s a brand-new breed from Lucky’s and the brown sugar icing/candied pineapple combo makes it an easy favourite. And—spoiler alert—there’s creamy pineapple curd hidden in their too.”
