THAT butterscotch flavor. I am speaking of the KK near Tuscaloosa, the only
one I've ever been to.

It is desirable to be able to taste and feel the doughnut itself.
KK first glazes its doughnut hot out of the fat, and rather thickly. That it
calls its basic doughnut. Then it creates varieties by piling additional,
flavored glazes on top of that. Sometimes you can hear the doughnut yelling,
out from under all those blankets.
When I make doughnuts, I apply a modest icing of slightly bitter, rich dark
chocolate. The effect (on a light, warm, eggy doughnut) is so delightful that
no one's ever asked for a different option.
