What Is A Long John Donut?
A Long John Donut is a yeast-raised pastry that is made of dough, which is stretched to a long rectangular shape and then deep-fried. The donut is then filled with cream or custard on the inside and topped with icing or glaze on the outside. The pastry is usually about 6 to 8 inches long, which is where its name comes from. Long John Donuts can come in various flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, maple, and lemon.
