点评:I'm not an expert on the subject of donuts. But I think I know a good one when I taste it. Like chocolate or glazed or Bavarian cream or cinnamon or apple fritter. Or a "Big Dat." You'll find them all at Dat Old Fashioned Donut at 8251 South Cottage Grove Avenue on Chicago's South Side, in the Avalon Park/Chatham neighborhood. Open from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dat Donut not only offers donuts that are "too good to dunk" but also offers smoothies, ice cream, shakes, steak sandwiches, Italian beef, Hoagies and fries. But donuts are why Dat Donut opens at 5:30 in the morning Monday through Saturday and 6:30 on Sunday. Other donut flavors include caramel, blueberry, strawberry, coconut, lemon, buttermilk, large long johns and the signature Big Dat, which is so big that it can feed multiple people. What does it take to make an excellent donut? Characteristics of an excellent donut consist of an evenly colored golden crust, symmetrical shape, fluffiness, white-colored crumb and no flour taste. A perfect donut is a perfect ratio of filling to donut dough. Not overly sweet or overly glazed. The best type of donut isn't dry but also isn't chewy. The best type of donut uses quality ingredients and the chocolate glaze doesn't taste like cheap chocolate. A traditional glazed donut must be moist in the traditional sense. Gooey icing. Buoyant but slightly buttery interior mass. Or too good to dunk.
翻译:我不是甜甜圈方面的专家。但我觉得只要尝一尝,我就能知道哪种甜甜圈好吃。比如巧克力味、糖霜味、巴伐利亚奶油味、肉桂味、苹果馅饼味。或者“Big Dat”。这些甜甜圈都可以在芝加哥南区南小屋格罗夫大道 8251 号的 Dat Old Fashioned Donut 找到,这里位于阿瓦隆公园/查塔姆街区。营业时间为周一至周六上午 5:30 至晚上 10 点,周日上午 6:30 至下午 5 点,Dat Donut 不仅提供“好吃到让人不忍下咽”的甜甜圈,还提供冰沙、冰淇淋、奶昔、牛排三明治、意大利牛肉、三明治和炸薯条。但正是甜甜圈让 Dat Donut 周一至周六早上 5:30 开门,周日早上 6:30 开门。其他甜甜圈口味包括焦糖、蓝莓、草莓、椰子、柠檬、酪乳、大号长内衣和招牌 Big Dat,它非常大,可供多人食用。如何制作一个优质的甜甜圈?优质甜甜圈的特点包括颜色均匀的金黄色外壳、对称的形状、松软的口感、洁白的面包屑并且没有面粉味。完美的甜甜圈是馅料和面团的完美比例。不会过甜或过釉。最好的甜甜圈不干也不难嚼。最好的甜甜圈使用优质原料,巧克力釉料尝起来不像廉价巧克力。传统的釉面甜甜圈必须是传统意义上的湿润。糖霜粘稠。内部质地轻盈但略带黄油味。或者好到让人不忍浸入其中。
