Muslims in the United States celebrate Eid al-Fitr with doughnuts, which have become a popular and beloved treat for the holiday. Doughnuts are cheap, easy to cater in large quantities, and often halal-friendly, making them the perfect crowd pleaser at American mosques. While major doughnut companies have yet to acknowledge the holiday, artisanal bakers around the country are creating specialty Eid confections, such as salted caramel chai doughnuts and crescent moon and star-shaped doughnuts. Doughnuts have become so central to American Eid celebrations that they have become a symbol of the American Muslim identity.
