doughnut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something tasty' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'money fan?' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'dough' (dough can informally mean money).
'fan?' becomes 'nut' (both can mean an enthusiast).
'dough'+'nut'='DOUGHNUT'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doughnut that I've seen before include "Fried batter cake" , "Toroid" , "Sweet circular cake" , "Small ring-shaped fried cake" , "Small circular cake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
