Did you know?
Doughnuts were originally called olykoeks (oily-cakes) because of the way they are cooked, as they originate in Holland that explains the strange name.
It is reputed that a cow kicked a pot of (hot) oil onto some dough, a happy accident that may have created the tasty morsel that we all know as the doughnut.
Doughnuts were given to US soldiers during the two World Wars to raise moral.
One well known way to enjoy a doughnut is to dunk it in coffee, Mae West famed actress of yesteryear is reputed to have started the trend.
The First doughnut making machine was invented by Adolph Levitt in 1920.
Doughnut Ingredients
Please, note, there are no nuts in a doughnut.
