One of the popular doughnut trends encountered on my Taiwan trip was the crispy milk doughnut. This classic ring doughnut with a twist consists of an extra crispy outside, slightly denser dough and a generous powdery coating. Not my favourite style of doughnut, to tell you the truth, but definitely one worth trying.
"1 Crispy" is a small stand in the trendy Ximen district that sells nothing but crispy milk doughnuts. Most doughnut stands have these either freshly fried or sitting under heat lamps so they're warm when you get them; these are room temperature, so you don't get that hot doughnut experience. However, this kept the powder coating intact while the outside was still nice and crispy. The dough was moist without being too dense (which is the reason why I'm not the biggest fan of these milk doughnuts) and there was just enough of the powder on top without it being overwhelming or chalky. Both taste and texture were excellent. The best crispy milk doughnut I had - and wouldn't mind another! ;)
