Have you ever wonder why doughnuts have holes in the middle?
The first doughnuts with holes were made by a 15 year-old, Hanson Crockett. He was a baker's apprentice working in Camden, Maine, in 1847. One day he noticed a rawness in the middle of his fried cakes. He cut out the soggy centers and made the first ring doughnuts.They became very popular and were made by hand until the first doughnut cutter was invented in 1872.
