Dessert. Literally, it can be understood as a combination of two different foods, puffs and donuts. Puffs are a sweet food of Italian origin, characterized by a crispy outer crust and an inner filling such as whipped cream or custard sauce. Doughnuts, on the other hand, are a type of fried bagel, made from flour, sugar, grease and other ingredients, with a sweet, but not greasy, texture.
