In the UK these are called doughnuts.
The presence of a hole isnt a pre-requisite to being deemed a doughnut here.
Calling something that has zero holes a ‘donut hole’, will absolutely have a local refer to you as a doughnut tho…
But how do you differentiate between a doughnut ( o ) and a doughnut o. I’d be so pissed if I asked for a doughnut and someone handed me this tiny shit.
One without a hole is a doughnut. One with is a doughnut ring.
The nut in the word is to already show that it is in a nut shape. So it would be doughball and doughnut.
What part of the UK are they called doughballs? ive never heard them called that.
Only reference I can think of is Pizza express’ dough balls, but they’re a savoury dough ball rather than sweet like a doughnut.
*doughnut, not do nut.
Donut is just an American variation of the spelling, and considering they’re talking about what Americans call this, donut is perfectly acceptable, and maybe even a more correct usage than the doughnut spelling
