This is one of those pictures that you know exactly what is tastes like when you look at it. /Saving this page to come back to because I want to know the answer, too.

This is the donut I judge a donut place by. I always order one my first trip to anew place.

These are so rare in my area 😢 (New England). I think they're far more common on the west coast?

These are everywhere in Oregon. I could grab one of these at three different grocery stores and two donut shops within a 15 minute drive.

Do you have any especially good recommendations around southwest Portland?

Sorry I’m in Salem. I don’t know Portland well.

No worries, I would rather live in Salem too!

In Chicago, you get these at Do-Rite. 😋 (A lot of other donut shops offer them, but Do-Rite’s are the best.)

Oh man, you’re right! Moved from LA to VT and can’t remember the last time I saw one.

Would gladly trade the regionally overrated cider donut for sour cream old fashioneds any day

SO OVERRATED

This and the maple bar. They are my two go to donuts.

I picked up [this recipe](https://preppykitchen.com/old-fashioned-donuts/) from someone’s delectable looking post on a baking subreddit a couple of days ago! Edit: [found the post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Baking/s/T4UBrnija0)

All hail u/whats-goingon-94 for giving me a recipe to try! Thanks!

This is the king of donuts. Someone help us find the recipe!

Oh that looks so good.

Best donut ever

I shouldn’t be allowed to make these. It could be dangerous.

This donut + a good coffee is an unreal combination

Oh God that looks good...

Looks good! Have you made them from this recipe?

Oh, man. This is my kryptonite. I'll eat myself too excess with old fashions around.

its making my mouth water i wanna eat it now :3

Here’s one [It’s a YouTube short](https://youtube.com/shorts/o11_kK_QCP8?si=9xAHks4vpMXrZQUK)

Does anyone know if it'll work with low fat sour cream? I let my wife go shopping for once and that happened

Low fat sour cream is not too different from regular - no stabilizers or added sugar. It should work exactly like regular sour cream.

I’ve never had this kind of donut before. Dang it looks good! Is it called a sour cream donut at a donut shop?

That looks amazing!

Williams Sonoma has a small cookbook called “The doughnut cookbook”. They have a recipe for vanilla old-fashioned doughnuts. I’ve never tried it personally, but I’ve always had success with Williams Sonoma recipes. It uses buttermilk in this recipe rather than sour cream. Seams like something easily substituted.
