Description
A rectangular-shaped yeast doughnut with a chocolate glaze, the Long John is the cousin of the French pastry known as the éclair, which is baked and not fried like a doughnut. Confusingly enough, this doughnut is sold both filled and unfilled—when filled, it’s sometimes called an éclair, with the unfilled version known as the Long John. However, a filled version is also called a Long John in some parts, so both names—Long John and éclair—are essentially interchangeable.
Frosting topping is mixed. Could be white, chocolate or caramel.
