Donuts are pastries that truly managed to withstand the test of time. Although they are still an incredibly popular tasty treat today, they’ve actually been around for the past few centuries. Today, bakers can make them in just about any shape or size but that wasn’t always the case.

Back before the donut was perfected, people had a hard time getting the edges and the middle of the pastry to cook evenly, so the hole in the middle was implemented. And thus, donut holes were made! Everyone likes a good munchkin, after all.
