Hot Jam Donut · Melbourne
American Doughnut Kitchen's hot jam donuts have been fried to order at the same Queen Victoria Market hatch since 1950: cinnamon-sugar coated, raspberry-jam filled, eaten immediately from a paper bag.
American Doughnut Kitchen opened at Queen Victoria Market in 1950 in a converted bus-shaped caravan, run continuously since by the same family. The unchanged recipe is a yeast-raised dough, fried in a long oil bath, injected with raspberry jam by hand, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Five for A$8 is the Melbourne market lunch ritual, eaten standing on the corner with greaseproof paper sticking to the cinnamon coating. The hatch has resisted franchising, expansion, and a 2020s Melbourne City Council eviction attempt, which became a citywide cause and saw the caravan saved.
