What is the history of the doughnut?

A long time ago in the colonial times Dutch immigrants
discovered fried cakes. So the story said that a cow knocked over a big pot full
of boiling oil over onto some pastry mix therefor inventing the doughnut.
Apparently they didn’t share this discovery with others in their homeland and
the fried cakes became a staple in the harsh conditions that were in the
colony.Around the time 1847 Elezibeth Gregory a new England ship
captians mom  made a deep
fried  dough that used her sons
spice cargo of nutmeg cinnamon and lemon rind.she made deep fried cakes foer her
son and his crew so they could store the sweet pastrys for very long voyages and
to help ward off scurvy and colds mrs gergory put nuts and stuff in the middle
of the doughnuts.The very first doughnut making machiene was invented uin 1920 in
new york city by a man named Adolph Levitt a refugee from czarist Russia his
doughnut machiene was a big hit it spread like a wildfire.

How many donuts are made each day?

More than 14 million doughnuts are made in America and sold each day. 

How do you make doughnuts ?


  • Fry in a     heavy pot with walls high enough to
    leave at least a few inches clearance     above the surface of the oil. I think
    dutch ovens are excellent vessels     for frying.

  • Use an oil     or fat with a high smoke-point to
    prevent burning. Canola and Grapeseed     oil are good choices (canola is more
    economical) or use lard or shortening    
    instead.

  • When     placing the doughnuts into the oil,
    hover over the surface, and then     gently slide them into the oil. Do not drop
    from high above the surface,     which will cause the oil to splatter
    upward.

  • Constantly     monitor the temperature of the
    oil. It needs to be 375°F or a bit lower     for frying. Do not allow it to go
    above, which can cause it to smoke and     make it a fire risk. Never
    leave a pot set on the stove unattended.

  • Never pour     liquid into hot oil.
