agree  María Teresa Taylor Oliver: Depende del país, claro :o) En Panamá, una dona o donut es dulce y densa; mientras que una rosquilla generalmente es crocante (como masa de pan) y no es dulce, aunque algunas tienen cobertura dulce. Saludos :)

  -> Me parece que el doughnut verdadero no lleva levadura (por lo menos la receta que yo hago no lleva) y el que se vende como tal (dona, rosquilla), lo hacen con levadura, de ahí la masa es más parecida al pan. Me parece que la diferencia anda por ahí. =o)

donut/rosquilla


Explanation:
En España (por lo menos se usan las dos palabras. Sin embargo, en mi opinion,una rosquilla no es exactamente igual a un doughnut tipo-americano. Es un poco más denso y seco.

Por cierto, si sirve de algo, en la serie \"Los Simpsons\" Homer come rosquillas. :)

Donut (para España)


Explanation:
En España, el nombre para el producto americano (que también comemos aquí)es éste. Para otros productos de pastelería también redondos y siempre con agujero, pero con distinta textura, tamaño, etc., y muchas veces hechos en casa, tenemos la palabra "rosquilla".
Un saluso,
Cecilia
