On this day in1847, they say doughnuts were first created.

are plain, but I also like lemon filled. Cinnamon twists are hard to
resist.

Really fresh crullers with a side of dark roast coffee is one of my
favorite ways to enjoy breakfast.

Chocolate covered donuts were my favorite way back when!

French - those wavy ones that they squeeze out from a pastry bag,
Still soft in the middle with a light light powdered sugar glaze.
Fortunately they show up very infrequently in the donut case.
Otherwise I like plain cake donuts with no glaze or sugar at all,
Especially if they're crisp on the outside, not too sweet and soft in
the middle (with nutmeg). Lynn in Fargo

Fried hunk of dough. That's all a doughnut is.

Take my word for it! I made over 750,000 long johns a year in the
1980's, and LJ's were not even our best seller! Just easiest to count!

I think you mean French Crawlers.

Are Eclairs considered donuts? Mmmm

No. An eclair is not a doughnut.

And the word is "crullers", and the ones I made were pumped out of the
cake donut machine with a special cruller piston which had slots and
rotated as the dough was dropped. Very cool! But we just called 'em
French Donuts, not crullers. To my understanding crullers are
something entirely different.

Curry doughnuts! (Some of you will know this is not a joke.)

As for the date, that would depend on what you are calling a
doughnut. Does it require a hole?

No, long johns are donuts but have no hole. Others as well. Being
dough or batter and being fried makes a thing a donut. Bignets (sp)
are technically donuts.

About once a year, my mother made raised donuts. Lot of work and
they were gone in a flash.

Commercial donuts sit in my stomach like lead for hours, so I rarely
indulge. Maybe once in a blue moon, a DD jelly stick if I'm on he
road and it's the only thing close in the way of a b'fast.

I say if a cruller is a donut then so is an eclair.

And the word is "crullers",

Gee, who knew... I catch more bottom feeders with donut crawlers than I do
with octopus testicles. LOL

Plain cake doughnuts, split like a bagel and lightly toasted,
spread lightly with cream cheese.

Probably 5000 calories and 1000 grams of fat so I haven't had one
in maybe 15 years, but dang, they were good.

You sound like the person who invented fried cheese! I can just
imagine them looking at a piece of cheese and saying "This doesn't yet
have enough fat in it, I think I'll FRY it!"

Yep, but it was a wonderful combination of textures and flavors--
crisp, warm, sweet doughnut with cold, salty, creamy cheese.

My mother used to make them once in a while too, but she also
occasionally made cake donuts, which I preferred. I have made them
myself a few times. They turned out great, but I only do it if there
are going to be enough people around to eat them up. Donuts should be
eaten as fresh as possible.

Are you talking donut shop donuts or the industrial bakery donuts that
they sell on grocery stores? Some donut shops make very digestible donuts.

Cinnamon twist closely followed by raspberry filled, not glazed but
with sugar sprinkles.

How about getting some plain cake donuts (w/o holes), and use a turkey
marinade injector to insert some currant jelly... :-)

Hope you try it.

In the bakeries in Baltimore when I was growing up, currant was all they
used! I love currant jelly.

I also like it (currant jelly), but I happen to like strawberry better,
so that's what I usually buy for toppings (never thought about injecting
donuts though). I do have the injector, but I like the crullers better
then the filled donuts.

I don't make doughnuts often, but when I do I use a pastry bag with a small
plain tip to inject jelly and jam into the filled ones. Currant jelly and
black raspberry jam are two of my favorites. I would think that a marinade
injector would have too small an opening to inject jelly unless it was
nearly melted.

Just give me a plain glazed. Although many years ago, Krispy Kreme
used to make a peanut butter cake doughnut that was out of this world.

The hole is only too small if you have chucks of the fruit in it. My
injector has two holes towards the end, each between 1/16 and 1/8 of an
inch.

Then by our definition, doughnuts predated the 1840s.

Both. I just shy away from donuts in general for health reasons. I
tried a Krispy Kreme once as a gas stop - no big whoop. Even the name
with those Ks turned me off.

My mother made the donuts once for a cub scout bake sale - so you can
imagine how fast they went.

This is Tim Hortons country. Krispy Kreme opened a store near Toronto. I
have no idea how much business they get, but it certainly never took
off. According to the company's store locater, there are no others.
Meanwhile, Tim Hortons shops are opening up on almost every street
corner. I found Krispy Kreme donuts to be way too sweet.

Yep :-) There is something about nice, fresh home made donuts that
people cannot resist. Being deep fried, they are best served as fresh as
possible. They do not keep well.

When Hortons used to make their donuts on location, before they switched
to heating up the par baked goods, I used to enjoy their glazed donuts,
but only if they were absolutely fresh. If I were there when they
brought out a fresh batch of glazed donuts they were my first choice,
but within a half hour they are going downhill fast.

I'm sorry, but I made enough "nice fresh" donuts to choke several
armies!!

I prefer my donuts cooled, so the grease is no longer liquid!! ;-)

Boston cream; black raspberry filled; chocolate cake, in that order.

New donut place opened a couple weeks ago. They have pretty good
Boston cream donuts. Not as good as Dunkin', but then we don't have a
Dunkin Donuts here. :-(

<Sigh> why are you and I having to repeat this ditty over and over?

Maybe I was a dumba$$ in my previous life, and earned this.

Okay, Lynn. Someone may have already asked this before and
received an answer but I don't recall seeing it. What the
heck does Ografmorffig mean?
