Question
What blessing is recited over one doughnut?
Answer
The doughnuts available [in stores with reliable kashrut] can even be considered permissible for a God-fearing person to recite the blessing 'Mezonot'.
Source
Shulchan Aruch (Siman 168, Paragraph 13); Taz (Siman 168, S.K. 19); Mishnah Berurah (there, S.K. 85; and Beur Halacha D.H. 'Vekol Ze'). The doughnuts available [in stores with reliable kashrut] are made from sweet challah dough and fried in deep oil, so that the taste of the oil is well absorbed in the dough, and their blessing is Mezonot. Some are lenient that even a God-fearing person can eat them outside of a meal up to the amount of four eggs [about 2 doughnuts]. Azmera LeShimcha (Issue 119).
