Isle of Wight doughnuts

Isle of Wight doughnuts are traditional doughnuts originating from the Isle of Wight. The doughnuts are either filled with currants and tied in a knot or filled with apples and shaped in a turnover (half circle). The dough for these doughnuts is often flavored with cinnamon, cloves, mace, allspice, or nutmeg.


It's usually made with flour, butter, sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs. Candied peel and lemon zest can also be added to the dough for extra flavor. In the past, the doughnuts were cooked in lard, and nowadays vegetable oil is more common. Once golden brown, they are drained and dusted with icing sugar.
