Cream-filled Donut Day |
Donuts were invented in 16th century Holland. They were called "oil cakes" and had no holes. Brought to America by the Pilgrams, they were renamed "dough nuts" because they were about the size of walnuts. It was a New England sea captain in the 1800's who poked holes in his mother's donuts to eliminate the soggy center. This changed the pastry forever. They all now have holes - except for specialty donuts like the messy cream-filled varieties. |
