"But because we're not plunging them into a scorching bath of hot oil, the flavors really come alive." And how: Sourced from the city's nearby farmers' markets, fresh citrus lends zing to the gluten-free lemon fonuts, tart berries turn the strawberry-buttermilk ones bright pink, and the classic glazed is as cakey and airy as can be (Fonuts.com).
