I'm Spanish but I don't know what "big dots" could supposedly mean. In Spanish, donuts are called "donuts", "rosquillas" or "berlinas". I can't think of any pastry that could be translated as "big dots".

Is there the Spanish word too? I mean are they labeled puntos grandes / big dots?

I suppose the hole in the middle is a sort of dot. Unless they are the filled sort in which case, round= dot.

No, the labels in the shop were only in English. I was curious what country they were from, and I looked on the website, which was in Spanish, and it had a guide to bread, but not to cakes.

Did you go back and buy some and find out what they were?

Okay, today I saw in the supermarket things like donuts that were labeled like "Big Dots", in English. It doesn't make sense XD As far as I know, donuts have never been called "big dots" or "puntos grandes" in Spain.

I was laughing and thinking I might start calling donuts los Puntons in future
