Fact N.2- Donuts were once called olykoeks, which is Dutch and translates to ‘oily cakes’, because that was pretty much what they were. Old fashioned donuts were once balls of cake that were fried in pork fat. The word donut came after, when a woman was said to have put nuts in the middle before frying it.

Kynslee White said, “My favorite type of donut is glazed from Mitchell’s Bakery.”
