Some say it was created by a group of rogue doughnut enthusiasts, others claim it was a gift from the doughnut gods. However, the true origin is unknown, but who cares?! It is celebrated regardless anyway.
So, what exactly is a doughnut?
Well, it’s a sweet, round pastry made from dough, deep fried to perfection, and then covered in glaze, sprinkles or frosting.
The beauty of doughnuts is that there’s so much variety. There’s powdered sugar, sprinkles, chocolate, jelly-filled, and even savory varieties.
Doughnuts have been around for centuries, with the first recorded mention of the tasty treat dating back to the 1800s. Since then, they’ve become a staple of bakeries and coffee shops around the world.
According to die-hard donut-heads, doughnuts are the ultimate comfort food.
